The G6 has three pumps. I found that I couldn't run all three because the water just goes right out the top of the skimmer. (I need to shorten the high of my gate valve mod) So I was running the skimmer on only 2 pumps. The bubbles were exiting the skimmer through the pump that wasn't turned on! DOH!!! OK, so maybe it was more of a Homer Simpson moment.

2 x 250W heaters running all night didn't even warm the tank up from 67 F. I cranked the heaters to maximum, added another 150W of heaters, and turned the MHs on all day...
After 10 hours, I'm up to 76 F. I may need bigger heaters, but once the lights are hitting rock things might behave differently.

Black Box
Today, I built a black box. (Yes, I know what you are thinking...this just gets more exciting everyday!)
Soon, this black box will actually be interesting because it will house the tank's Aquatronica brain....and I have some pretty cool plans for this...trust me.  I think I may just be building stuff for no reason just to avoid taking the possibly heartbreaking step of actually putting life into the tank!

Yes, smoky black acrylic. I'm no acrylic expert, that's for sure...but it will do the job I need it to do.

 Now get on with the process of getting some life in that tank! Why should you be spared the heartache that the rest of us have to suffer through with this dang hobby Seriously this is a great thread and your tank is going to be amazing with life in it.
