Jumping In! My tank diary begins.

Hello,

This is my first crack at salt after many years doing the freshwater thing.

I'll be keeping a sort of diary of my progress here:

Wowzers.. that's one heavy duty stand. That bad boy will secure some peace of mind alright

Looking forward to more progress.. welcome to the board. Welcome to the addiction. Things seem to be moving along quite nicely for you so far.

Looking good!

If heat becomes an issue you might want to have your ballast outside your lighting hood.

I'll actually have a second ballast in there as soon as I have the funds. I'm putting 3 4" fans in the canopy to deal with this. one blowing fresh air in the side and two in the top blowing it out.

Anyone foresee any problems there?

I would put 1 fan on each side, one blowing towards the other one that is sucking the hot air out. Start with two, if two isn't enough, use 4.

Before you buy the fans ask to run them in the store to see how much noise they make.
