Andrew,

The Azoo set ups are only 4" deep. Thats 3" of heater sticking out of the water if you don't have any kind of sand bed in it.

Good idea but I already tried it. Looks goofy but if nothing else works I think I'll have to bite the bullet and do it anyway.

Christy :)

You must be able to have it sit diagonally across the back of the little tank? A heater doesn't have to be completely vertical ya know! :P I would have to think that if you have 4" of depth to work with, you've gotta have at least 6" of width. That gives you more than enough diagonal area to work with.

Just my $0.02 worth.

I think they are 4"x 4"x 4".... they are tiny about a quarter of a gallon... Christy get someone to make you an over flow for it and then put your heater in a sump.. ... I think I already cracked this joke.. didn't I?... lol

christyf5 03-12-2003 07:14 PM

haha, actually they are 6x6x6

I got the little heater from mops. Maxed out at 29 degrees, a bit warm so I put an ikea dimmer cord on it, set it at half and its at 26 now. Now I am just dealing with red slime algae. Fun stuff :p

I highly recommend a 180g sump.

Mitch :D

180 gallon would work yes, but see the above link there is a 900 gallon tank for sale... much more stable in my opinion.

MitchM 03-12-2003 07:57 PM

ah yes. You're right. I guess I was thinking 180g minimum. I've heard that those nano's are bioload hogs.

... can you imagine the cost of filling a 900 gallon tank with live rock?... Even base rock... wow, $$$$$
