yah the heating isn't to bad of a issue for me i have a fan running on it so it somewhat works im just worried about keeping my corals and such but i think it should be fine, other than that everything seems to be going great i have it on a 2 scheduled timer that pretty much runs it at 2 different times a day about 7-8 hours a day, the temperature pretty much stays in between 78-79 sometimes 80 so thats working fine only thing that worries me is now the skimmer, any ideas on a better skimmer or should i go for the gusto and buy a new cube tank and get a sump going? =) =)

Sorry if I missed it, but what kind of corals are you planning on keeping anyway? You may have issues with some corals bleaching from too much light.

I think you may have difficulty keeping some LPS under that strong lighting. If it was SE instead of DE you would be more likely to get away with it.

Wait though, you said your tank is 19" deep? Maybe you could get away with the DE then... Is it a hex tank then, or? What are the rest of the dimensions?

My tank is 20" deep and I have too much light for some of my SPS. My caps, catspaw,and millies are not responding that well.
The other side is that I have Monties, and a few others (I don't know what they are called) that do really well, and my clams love all the light.
