Looks good.. I'd double the amount of rock (or maybe even just 50% more) personally to fill the tank out more.. how much rock by weight is that supposed to be in your tank? You've definitely got some good pieces in there with lots of porous surfaces. Like I said before, the tank is very...

I run my tanks between 80-82F all the time... its an acceptable temp range. Using hang on the side fans to blow across the surface of the water helps to bring down the temp too.

oh if the reefpack is inside the tank then it should work as you described... sorry for the confusion.

Originally Posted by rgf1046 Appears to be working great, I think I picked up a little more flow too, and was able to open my return pump up a little more. Thanks a lot! I'm glad it turned out well for ya.

you might be adding too much stuff at once and its causing supplements to precipiate. Do you have a surface skimmer or overflow that can draw surface foam/film/whatever and spray it back under the surface? Definitely turn off a skimmer (if you have one) for a few hours so that all the...

the lack of a fuge really hurts how much you can stock a tank with fish.

Originally Posted by [Ronnie] okay after i "calibrate it" im showing 1.026 then you're fine.

take the rock out of the tank and put it in 1 or 2 5gallon buckets (if its gonna be awhile before you get the tank over there, run powerheads in the buckets).. drain the water into the buckets and keep the rock submerged. keep as minimal water above the sand as possible... lift the tank and put...

I run my tanks between 80-82F corals grow faster...

Originally Posted by rgf1046 I'll try it right now, thanks! no problem.. it seems like it'd work really well because that's essentially how my glass holes overflow is setup and its almost dead silent.

Originally Posted by dwendler4 good opinions, a couple of things technically this tank has been up and running for about 2 and a half years, it was up for about 2 years before the crash... would my pods go away if there has been only rock and sand in it for 6 months? i would think they would...

may want to make an intake overflowbox out of acrylic or plastic that feeds into the intake of a powerhead below it. Just don't let the water level drop too much from evap (I don't know if you have an auto topoff or not) or else the pump may run dry and break. The $10 surface skimmer attachment...
