Marlin65 is on a distinguished road

Tank update woke up this morning with my return pump on my 75 not running and the pump almost hot enough to burn you. Shut it down and started my closed loop.
(I don't run that at night) Came home from work and had to give it a vinegar bath. Too much calcium build up I think.
Its running good now. My solenoid for my calcium reactor packed it in as well will have to get a new one of those now. Always something to replace I just replaced my skimmer pump as well.
Turning a year and a half now so something has to go at sometime.
Changed out my 250w as well to a 20,000K bulb from fish need it seems to run okay a $20 bulb but the $20 bulb on my other tank runs great. So I thought I would see how this one does. Pictures later.
