Alright, will do..One problem though. My fuge never gets turned off. It has live rock,Live sand, Chaeto, and 7 really pissed off damsels in there. ( they are in there till i can go to the LPS and trade them in on something)

you can get a timer to turn the lights to the fuge area off opposite your main tank lights. also, the light probably should be moved over the chaeto instead of over the rock.
Well lets see it...LOL

Also the reason the chaeto is where it is at, is because i have major issues keeping it on the bottom of the tank. It is a very large peice, and flaots very easily...LOL Hold on i can move the light over...oops there light is moved over the chaeto.. I also pested the phosphates again this morning.. it is still reading .2 ( took test before turning on main lights ) It was also a royal Beech getting the tank under there.
I am starting to think that it was just my acclimation process.. I will do the acclimation process that you and the other person was suggesting. It just seems that everything else on the tank is dead nuts perfect. Also the new rock arrangement has started to grow on me . Even though it did hurt a little busting up 100.00 to 200.00 peices of rock. Oh well, maybe that will keep things a little more under control. Plus i also increased the temperature, from 75 to 79 degrees. and it is stable. When, if ever, i get my halides ill have to reconfigure the entire setup. I dont want my water being bath water...LOL
Thanks again for all of your help. I have really learned alot from this thread. Seriously i have.. now off to clean the cascade 1500. need to buy new filter media..ye-haw. I hate cleaning that darned thing.. Nasty

Good luck and keep us posted
By the way, halides may not heat you up too bad. I have 3x150w halides only about 4 inches from the water. They keep my tank from 79 at night to 81-82 during the day. Actually works perfect, no chiller and no heaters just the lights and a few 4" fans in the canopy just in case.
