Yeah I was thinking about that but I started filling the tank and the only thing I could fit was a 10 standard so I'm thinking of drilling this 5 I have and a pump putting water into it and then it drains into my skimmer chamber of my sump

so i came home from work and my new tank with nothing in it other then a couple peices of live rock had a temp of 84 will that kill the organizms on my live rock? it was my heater was an old one and stayed on going to get a new one tomorrow so i dont have this problem again

no youll be fine alot of tanks get higher than that in the summer, since your buying a heater you might as well buy 2, its a fail safe in case one was to give out and then they dont need to work as hard as one big one cheers budd

be wary on small heaters not rated for larger than your tank as they have to work alot harder and spend alot longwer of a time heating your water, a heater or 2 rated for more than your tank will work alot less, heat up the water faster, and be cheaper on the ol electric bill

your quite welcome mate, is just what ive learned over the years as ive had some bad dealings with heaters, tanks looking like its coming along great man keep up the good work

today i bought a new heater transfered all my fish and corals to a ten gallon tank and the rest of the water from my 30 whent into my new 55 as well as all the live rock that didnt have corals on it and some with a mushroom or 2 on them( mine frow like weeds) as soon as it all settles down i will finish my aqua scape and let the tank get clear before adding my fish the coral will wait untill my lights are in for the big tank they will live in the 10 gallon with more then enough lighting. i got 11 snails for my big tank some kool ones that burry themselves in the sand pretty kool stuff. once the overflow comes in and the fish and corals are in the display it will get plumed in and then it will be smooth sailing hopefully pics to come
