Thanks Doug. I have heard mixed stories about L.E.D and zoas. I have heard good things and I have also heard that zoas don't do as well under L.E.D. I would love to run them just for the light balance adjustability but don't know if it's a good move for the tank or not. With the halide, we actually only see a 1 degree bump through the whole day (from 78 in the morning to 79 when the light goes out) the temperature isn't nearly as up and down as I thought it would be

Great looking little tank. Love the cardinals! I used to have one tiny like that, he grew into a big lug that was so picky about what he ate
 Great collection of zoos also.

thanks christy!
after the tank running for about a month, we noticed that the filter wasnt as wide as the water column so it wasnt filtering all the water. here is what the flow looked like. notice how a fairly large amount is passing by the right side?  stock filter out.  so i cut 3 of these for "levels" for the new filter  then i used an 80 tooth saw blade on the table saw and cut some acrylic  here is the acrylic weld i used  so i built it 3 sided, so i can put the media in the open side, and the outside wall of the tank acts like the 4th side. here it is   and here it is with filter floss in the top, carbon in the middle (waiting on chemi-pure for 3rd chamber)  and here it is in action  notice how the whole water collumn is going into it now! it actually cleared up the water after a water change about twice as fast. let me know what you guys think
