Haha thanks guys and yes Mike as fragged up as that is... I AM

I still have a hole in the wall behind the couch so I can get a chiller (again) and run it from the basement if needed.

My Solana was totally fine with an open top if I recall correctly when I had the 4-fan unit clipped on it so there's another option. I'd then look at the Clip-on 150w Viper or maybe an LED. If I'm going to spend ballpark 250 I'd *maybe* look into a fixture like the vega. Thing is I honestly prefer the look of halides. At the end of the day what's any of the cost worth if when you look at the tank and don't like what you see?

If we get AC then there is no issue as I would keep the main floor at 21. This current config hits 82F when the room is 22. I'd be content with a 78-82 swing it's the same range I ran on my last tank.

Atta boy, welcome back to the asylum... I'll let you decide if it's the insane or sanctuary version.

Shelley did you ever try blowing a fan across the back chambers? That water is all exposed seems to me a 4-fan clip-on blowing down in there could do wonders. That's the cheapest and first thing I'm going to try =) We're cat owners again too and the canopy sorta gives me some peace of mind.
