    tide pool build

    ya i have heard issues with condensation, but will have to see. yup should be started hopefully by the weekend. got to fix the filter a tad, going to add bioballs to it since WA has horrible surface area so less bacteria in the water.

    chillers

    okay so some chillers want you to have 600 gph running though them. what if you where to slow down there water flow, lets say 400 gph in them? what would happen, would they become non functional? would you have to worry about freezing, or would the water temp just become cooler? was just...

    Moving on Up. The 55 -> 100g Move

    pre make the extra salt water. save as much form the old tank as possible. if possible make the new salt water a few days ahead in a bucket or w/e with a heater, and toss a piece of LR in there to try and jump start the bacteria growth inside the new salt water.

    Aquarium level enough?

    well are you certain it is out of level? use a level to measure it. it could be some surrounding things (corner of a wall out of plumb) that is making it look out of level. i am sure 1/32 out of level is not the greatest deal but i would imagine anything over a 1/8 inch could be become dangerous.

    halide lighting idea?

    okay so we all know MH lighting is expensive, but what about other lighting not made specifically for aquariums. i know more watts is good, but does the kelvin rating matter that much? i know bulbs can be changed out...
