Here it is up and running a 125gallon with about 200lbs of LR

Finaly ran all day yesterday and all night long. tested for power outage a few times seems to work sump can hold all extra water with room to spare. Temp is alittle high at 85 but holds pretty steady. only dips to 82 at night. not running a heater. Still need to make a canopy and get some lights but i think it should be good for now. I'm Happy maybe if i can get the wife Happy life would be good....





now just going to let it cycle for a few weeks and do 10% water changes every week and hope for the best.

Try some fans!because you have heat issue alrady and you don't have all your lights yet.

[Loverotties]

Also if you get rid of your glass it will help on the heat and light issue a bit.and you'll get better gas exchange and better oxygen levles to boot!

ya glass will go when i get the top biuld this weekend. tried a fan yesterday and only droped to 84. probaly going to make a bracket for some fans on the sump. thanks

What do you keep your house at? Just curious. 82 is pretty high. Are you running a heater? you have no crazy lighting.....whats the source of your heating problem?

[alloymetals]

im in an apartment and no heat on just what ever weather is like outside it is inside. the temps are from the pumps a blue line 40 hdx and a blue line 70 hd. before i had them running the temp was around 76.

are your rocks glued or held together in some way or just stacked?

[collin]

[alloymetals]

rocks are just stacked together i need to epoxy some of the top ones so they quit moving but the rest are solid.
