Thanks for the pics and the idea ED. I attached mine that way and appears to be holding alot better. Don't you think it sticks out a bit far though? I might try and get some large tubing and some super tiny zip ties and try to rig it up closer to the false wall because with the 1200, it's...

Update! The temp appears to be completely stabilized at 82 degrees. It has remained a constant 82 for the last 2 days which means my heater and the cooler room temps are working. I didn't end up rerouting the tube but I need to get a weaker pump because the Maxi-Jet 1200 is proving to be too...

UPDATE I turned up the window AC that I already had and then popped in one of those window fan sets and set it to exhaust the static air from my room. The result? Cool air from the AC is pulled through the house and into my room. Noticed cooler temps immediatly. I went shopping and when I...

Well, looks like I'm off to by an A/C unit today =) It seems like it will cost less and be more beneficial for me and the tank. This house is old enough to not have any sort of AC at all. The last two summers sucked but weren't as hot as it is now. From my testing with the lights, the heat...

So I visited Pacific Reef today. Looks like the new JBJ chillers for nanos aren't yet released? Anyhow....When I got home, it was once again, hotter than hades in my room. Then I got to thinking....it would be cheaper to get a window-mounted A/C unit for the room rather than the chiller.....and...

Thanks Tim! It looks like I definatly need to get the chiller.....86 degrees today with no lights! This room is just getting too hot. Anyhow, attached is a pic of the tenticles I was talking about....it's pretty transparent with almost a pink color to it...

is the glue/epoxy really neccesary? Meaning, so long as the frag won't fall, is there a problem with placing it on LR without glue?

I'm far from rich but I'm a firm believer in spending money on something like this in order to prevent future troubles. Do you think I should get a chiller now and then wait on the heater until things cool down or? My biggest issue with the chiller is going to be finding an open outlet...this...

the tenticles look like an extremly tiny anemone....they're thicker than yesterday. I'll get some better pics tonight. I've been using my cameraphone until now but I have a good digicam I'll use tonight.

i have a background in design, among other things so when I wasn't quite happy with the arrangement, and to help out the living things I found so far, I rearranged things abit.....then decided it needed just a tad of tonga.

Just imagine tank maintainance on something like that. Heating, cooling, water changes. Also...think about the weight....you better secure it well cause if it falls, it's all over for everything inside and probably the tank itself. It looks cool but more $ and work than it's worth IMHO.

Thanks for the input! I'll have to check out Coral Oasis. So update on day 3 of my tank..... Nitrate has gone from 0 to 12 Nitrite has gone from .15 to 0 Ammonia started at .375, dipped to .15 the next day and is now climing again at .25 This is still just 20lbs of LS and 12 lbs...

I just went to circle. It's not big but it was nice and the staff were very friendly. It's super close to my place which helps. I'll have to check out Tongs on the weekend as I need to get to the uni now. The avatar, well, it's kinda of a joke between my friends. I'm not Japanese but I used...

Which Tongs do you reccomend? Tongs Tropical Fish & Pets 8976 Warner Ave Fountain Valley, CA 92708 Tongs Tropical Fish & Pets 15250 Whittier Blvd Whittier, CA 90603

Ed, sounds like you really don't like them hehe. Their prices are a bit higher than other places but if there's one thing I learnied in life, it's that when you have the choice, paying a little more for quality pays off in the long run. I can see how one of their employees seemed kind of stuck...

Ed, the clean store I was talking about that I bought the LR, LS, and water from was Strickly Fish. Like I said, out of all the places I've been, they were the best kept, and most helpful. That sucks that they were rude to you. They were extremely friendly and helpful when I went there. I...

You guys are correct when it comes to the newer model lighting being all on one switch. Also, it's really odd having the on/off switch on the ballast but then there is a seperate convinient switch on the hood for the moonlight LEDs. So just to make sure I understand, I should leave the lights...

Since this is my first post, I figure I should introduce myself...my name is roo and I'm located in Long Beach, California. We have no shortage of local places where we can buy anything we need here.....but there is also no shortage of ignorant (or just downright shady) stores that will feed you...
