i figured i would not use a heater on till i set the tank up and get it running i live in florida and i keep my house at 75 degrees so i want to see what temp the tank runs before i decide.
Eqipment list:
I have this stuff:
180 gal tank( 72x18.5x30)
55 gal homade fuge
solid oak canopy and stand (72.75x18.75x34)

300# live rock
120# live sand
ASM G4 Protein Skimmer
Coralife Turbo Twist 12x 36W UV Sterilizer
72 Inch Outer Orbit HQI/T5 Fixture...
well lets see the math is this:
my tank 72x18.5x30= 39960ci=172.98 us gallons
your tank 72x20x30= 43200ci= 182.01 us gallons
your tank is not a 125 its a 180 do the math.
