Here are some quick pictures from this morning:







The tank has been running for approximately 15hrs now in its current state, and I've already encountered a problem with heat! Without a heater, the pump alone has brought my water temperature up to 90*F!!

I'll need to find a solution to cool it down. Hopefully the extra 9 gallons or so of water that my skimmer holds will bring the temperature down some as well.
