Thanks guys.
I took it out (thanks for unions) The temp sensor and fan all work it just does not get cold. I found a place around the corner from me and will see what they have to say about it.
It is one of the old Aquanetics chillers, but should work great if i can get it running.

mmmmmmmm cube tank.

Looks great. Are you planning on keeping the minimal rock work in the tank? I'm starting to really like the way they look

My new guy I call him Speedy is doing really well and has adjusted well.


Together with my other fish eating algae off the rocks. Not the best picture

Not sure I plan to merge two other tanks and change some things so not sure what will happen.

Quick update tank is doing well ended up with some flat worms and some zoa eating nudies. Trying the natural way to eliminate the flat worms with this guy.


The rest of my pieces are doing great here are a few shots.






And last love this picture it is in between the glass of my refugium.

I've tried those head shield slugs before and they will only bring the flatworm numbers down not get rid of them entirely. Once you have only a few left and the slug starts to starve it might work best to pass it on to someone else and then treat your tank with flatworm exit. I've had a good experience with a yellow coris wrasse as well. Once my sea slug couldnt find any of the remaining flatworms the wrasse took care of what was left.

Yeah I know I got him to bring them down a bit as I had lots. He has tripled in size eating as many as he can find, and I have someone lined up ones he starts running out to take him.
I also have a coris wrasse and he has been eating them as well so he should finish off the left over stragglers.
