i picked up a really nice 4" copperband butterfly. it eats frozen food like crazy. he is nice and thick too. an hour later he is at home in the tank like he had been there a year. i also got a 3 fan assembly for the profilux with the prop control for it. i have not installed the control yet because i need to get a splitter for the 1 - 10 outlets but the fan is running and is dead silent. with the halides on for 7 1/2 hours the tank temp is heating 84.5 to 85 degrees which is not good. i'm hoping with the fan it will keep it down. i have my heaters adjust to 80 degrees so that at night there is not a huge temp fluctuation. but the tank usually stables at 81 with no lights on. i wanted to go with the 5 blade fan but the sump will only accomodate the 3 fan mounting. i'm debating whether i should install some fans on the canopy to pull some heat out of blow cooler air into the canopy. some input here would be nice. i'll post some pictures tomorrow of the new stuff
