Looks great Brad, and my prayers go out to the reef god's too!
I'm also pretty sure that you could fit a few more picnic table parts in there as well

That would be them. They're flat pill bug shaped things that swim prety fast. I've caught a few with a piece of fish as bait in a tall skinny vase. A glass pop bottle would work too. You need to get them at night, remove the trap quickly, but be careful putting your thumb over the opening!!

Alan/Rich, thanks. It seems kinda barren in there now, but hopefully by end of summer it will resemble the old tank. I had a few acros left and a large poci to move over. Most o fthe hydnophora went to the LFS.

Overall I'm happy with it so far, other than temp being an issue. I haven't hooked up th echiller yet, and was hoping to not have to, but it seems I may need more than fans. Temp hit 90 by the end of the day today, but no fans are in yet.

90

what the ell, you buy those grow op bulbs by mistake

sounds like that chiller was a good investment!

ps-how's Mr. whitecheeks doing

Rich, problem is the chiller is a bit loud for the livingroom, and if fans will cool the tank, I'll go that route instead.

Yet but it's not even summer yet, I thought a chiller would be quiter than a whole bunch of fans

Rich, the chiller is actually pretty loud compared to the fans. You're right though, summer isn't here yet, but I still have some tweaking to do. I havne't put my regualr heater in, so the one I'm using might be a bit whacked. We'll see...I prefer not to use the chiller, but I may not have a choice, other than downgrading the lighting (ya, right

)
