I run two Amp Master 3000's with my 125. No noise and efficient. One returns from the sump and the other is on a closed system that goes to a canister filter then the chiller.

I have a flame cardinal and it is only seen at night. Hides all day but is harmless to the other inhabitants.

Make sure everything that you use says safe for acrylic. The cleaning magnet most say it also. If you have kids or anyone who likes to play when they see that magnet then DO NOT leave it in the tank. Murphys law says they will pick up sand with it an ruin the tank. I lost one that way. Also be...

I use a Mag 350 and it is in the sump. The water freeflows back to the sump from the refuge. Thanks all.

Cindyski - I keep my chiller outside not for the noise but for the heat that it puts out. The wife was none to happy when she saw me take the jackhammer to the wall to plumb it outside. If you can you might want to find another location for your tank.:( You really have to think it out , which...

Reefnut - An extra 70 gallons of water going thru the sump and refuge is one way of doing it. I would think most people would have a hard time keeping a tank within 2 degrees all year long day in and day out without some sort of temp controller in Florida IMO.

Sounds good. I would spend the $500 and get the chiller just to keep the tank at a constant temp. Good luck!

I have the 10K double ended bulbs. It is a very white light. That is one of the reasons for the two 110 watt VHO attinics. I live in south Fl and keep the tank at 77*. A chiller is a must for me even when I only had four VHO's. What you will find with out it is large temperature swings which you...

If you want to do things right then go with the 250 watt MH's and get the chiller(1/3HP will do it with a little overkill) and get two VHO attinics. Good luck!! One more thing - get the icecap fans - they have a built in thermostat the regulates the fan speed. They are very very quite.

Go with Lobbstergrabbers idea. It makes alot of sense in the long run and you do not have to buy both at once that way.

My French and Blue Angels get along just fine in my 125

Arrow crab attacked mine:mad:

Anybody???:confused:

I have a chiller sitting outside to the left of the tank and keep everything at 77*

Well I decided to build a refuge next to my 125. I have set it up and it is running. Now I need to add some more macros and maybe a critter or two. The size is 17x17x16. The light is a 6500k LOA that I purchased at Home Depot(65 Watts of electricity and gives off 500 watts of light). I set it up...

one fish in a seven gallon is about the max anyway so pick one fish you like. Damsels are great by themselves. Good luck and like always have patience.

The Home Depot Intermatic DT17 Digital Timers are great. You can set up to 14 on/off time event pairs per day for a total of 98 automatic switch settings. A setting can be for a particular day of the week, every day, only weekends, or every day but sundays. Also has a random feature and battery...

Thanks all. Melody I love your Midas shots. May have to get one. Is he doing ok?
