The chiller is next to the tank, The return water is going directly into the aquarium, however, I keep the heater in the aquarium as well. I'll go ahead and take the tops off, and I just ordered fans from another website. Hope this works, it just suck that I paid so much for this chill and it...

Thanks for your help everybody. I really do appreciate it. Anymore ideas are more than welcome.

I try to get my temp at 78F. But it will slowly rise through out the day, starting at about 79F and continue to about 81-82. I was using a pump that done around 350-400gph, and *********** told me to use one thats slower and now I'm using a 250gph. I have my heater set at 77F. So I don't think...

I have a brand new arctica in-line chiller 1/10hp rated for up to a 130gl tank, and it will not keep my water cooled down. I have a 75gl, does anyone know why this could be?

Are drop in chillers better then in-line chillers?

How long should I run my 2 HQI MH 150 watt lights each day, and my 4 65 watt Actinic PC lights for my reef aquarium.

It is set at 78, and it has about 400-500 gph going through it.

I have an Arctica 1/10 HP Chiller on my 75gl setup. My temp will go from about 78 degrees to around 81 while my lights are on. Is this fluctuation in temp a problem, and does anyone know why my chiller isn't keeping up. It says it can handle up to a 130 gl system.

Most people would say you should cycle with LR, or a frozen shrimp. The setup is ok if you tend on just having the damsels and maybe a couple hermit crabs. The tank really isn't large enough to put anymore fish in there, plus damsels are very aggressive and probably won't allow much else in the...

You should be seeing the nitrite drop soon.

First off, they are all really nice lookin tanks. The third pic isn't as good of quality as the other two. So, it is really tough to choose between one and three. But just by the pics I'm goin to say number one.

Originally Posted by mcbdz I'd fill up the tank and ghost feed a few days. Keep a close eye on the levels. If ammonia stays 0 but your trates go up your fine. If amm. goes up then let it cycle. Thanks, that makes sense. I'll start right now.

There are some gold fish in there. They live through the winter. Just keep the pumps runnin so the water don't freeze.

The rock is already in my new tank. The rock smelled fine.

Here is my pond from last summer, can't wait to get it goin again.
