![]() Very cool. I just vented directly outside, which wastes all that heat along with the humidity. I would probably not get as much value out of that as you will in Calgary.
One of the better arguments AGAINST metal halide is dealing with the heat they put off. With the HRV, you'll be able to use this to heat your house. Very efficient.

![]() Of course, if shimmer is a really big deal you should pick up one of these bad boys:
http://www.aquariumobsessed.com/mm5/...gory_Code=SFWM Check it out, I bet you'd get shimmer with just regular old normal output fluorescents with this thing: http://youtube.com/watch?v=y5wW0sL_CFk Another option is the Tunze wavebox, I know you're going with Vortechs but you could slap one on that tank supplementally and get a double wave happening (I think you need at least 8' of tank length to pull it off). Although I guess the Vortechs could probably pull it off too if they were tuned just right?

![]() I like that wavemaker thing. I bet I could build a smaller one for my tank. Looks like a reciprocating paddle
