The temperature is pretty stable but hope to improve that with the temperature controller, evaps pretty bad at about 400ml a day or so hence the need for an auto top up. heres a couple of closer pics

Can you post some closeup pics of the halide hood.
Do you have fans on that. What height is the lamp above the water?

Looks really good.
What corals are you looking to keep?

it has all the details of the hood, the lamp is around 5inches off the water, not sure yet was thinking of having a clown/nem species tank but not sure if its too small, still deciding, all is stable in the tank, and its nice and mature so we will see
