Here it is, I'd love your thoughts... I can't seem to keep the temparature under 80 as it gets very hot in the stand, despite 2 fans. You'll see I have insulation in the back, so it's hard for cool air to get in the stand. My house is 79 degrees but it's 105 outside. I keep the top lids off but still can't get the temp below 80. I need to get some cool house air in the stand, any suggestions?
The strange part is that my AC JR says 81.5 but I have 4 petsmart/lfs crappy ones, 3 of which read 79/80 and one of which reads 81/82... so I don't know what's going on.
Also, suggestions as to the best anemone for the tank raised perculas?
Specs:
180 gallon tank
90 gallon sump
Warner Marine AS200 skimmer
T5 retro kit 8x39w bulbs blue and white
Aquacontroller Jr with temp and ph probs
return pump = eheim 1262
2 Tunze 6125 power heads
200 lbs of live rock
UV sterilizer
ATO system
Inhabitants:
Coral - two mushroom rock, two feather dusters, torch coral, blue clam, flower pot, gorgonian and a leather coral
Fish - Emperor Angel (i know this is risky, but he's done well so far), yellow tang, blue regal tang, powder blue tang, 2 tank raised perculas, flame angel and a cleaner shrimp
Forgive the pic quality, they were taken with my iphone

Sweet setup. 80 is fine. My tank stays at 81-83 in the summer time. How do u like the tunze powerhead. Are u controlling them with the aquacontroller. I'm lookin for a setup like that for my90g.

Not controlling them no, they're on 24/7 and work great!

I think you have about 200 pounds there from what it looks like you have large dense pieces. I have over 400 pounds and it doesnt look like that much but it is. I have a few rocks that look like they dont way much but when you pick them up they way 18-22 pds lol
