nope i do not use a chiller. the heat is never on in that room (score one for living on the island!!!!) so it stays in the 74-76 temp area. the heater is rarely on its just the t5 hood above it that gives it heat during the day. but with all the led fixtures coming out that could soon be eliminated.

I rearranged the rock work so that it looked a little bit better. did some pruning of the macro algae. added a refugium section to the sump with some lr. a mangrove pod and eventually some cheato (once it gets a bit bigger) so i can start harvesting some pods.

I am really impressed with the Bubble magus 3.5. it is very quite and has pulled out way more than the tunze 9002 ever did in the same amount of time. it had a really quick break in period as well.

Thanks Brent. with the new scape they are up front a little more so it will be easier to get some good shots.

Thank you! i was actually really excited to expand the cube. it was a ton of fun to plan out how everything was going to fit in the stand. hopefully i can get these ones to mate again like my last bunch in calgary. Time will tell

I was gonna turn my BC29 into a sea horse tank when I transfer all live stock into 75 gal. but, end up getting a peacock mantis. cuz, someone was telling me that sea horse needs a tall tank.

tons a mysis in BC29 right now though. suggestion on a easy way to harvesting them?
