My Tank

[reddood]

well this is my tank. i did think is was a good size untill i look'd at some of the systems on here, I will have to stick with this one now cos i dont have the funds or the room to go any bigger :(

this when i was filling it

[reddood]

this was the sump system when first added. a bit basic but im hopeing it will do the job

[reddood]

the tank with the live rock in it moved from the old tank and a little extra added

Looks awesome! :bow:

What's the distance between your halides and the waters surface?? From the pictures it looks like they rest on the top of your tank. Doesn't that heat your water up a good bit??

LOL, everyone ask's me that.
the gap is about 6". over a 12 hour lighting cycle i am getting a 1.5f temp swing which i dont think is too bad.
this drops within 6 hours of lights off and then the heater seem's to be on and off for the next 6 hours.
so starting temp is 76.5 this has risen to 78 by the time the lights go off then it take's 6 hours for it to drop back to 76.5 it then uses the heater for 6 hours to maintain the temp at 76.5.

that is how it is working at the moment. not sure what it will be like by next summer but with a bit of luck i will have a chiller fitted by then.
