Well the tank temp was getting a bit much for me. Within a few hours the tank was hitting almost 84 degrees. I was looking into getting an iceprobe chiller but they're a little out of my league at the moment. So I thought I'd try out the coralife aqualight mounting legs to get the light off the tank. It worked like a charm. The tank holds at a steady 79 degrees. Not bad for $15
Of course the requisite pic ![]()

So I went to OA last week and got 4 new colors of zoos and 2 new ricordeas
![]() I switched out the minijet 404 (106gph) for a maxijet 600 (160gph). Its kind of weird going from a full on SPS tank with major flow to a nano where you don't really need everything whipping around the tank. Nevertheless, I upgraded the pump and everything is sort of gently wafting in the breeze now which makes me happy. Also one of my neon gobies which was being harassed by a sharknose goby managed to make it into my overflow and down into the sump. I figured I'd let him hang out in the nano for awhile and so far I think he is a bit confused by the lack of flow as well

Ok at this point I DEFINITELY need more rock. My zoo fetish is getting a bit out of hand. Just as I was thinking, gee the tank looks pretty good I get the OA newsletter and the next thing the phone is in my hand
I'm thinking about just stuffing the tank with rock at this point Ok so more pics just so you can see, plus I got some KICK A$$ zoos from Scavenger. Tank pic: ![]() New zoos ![]() And a ricordea I missed in the big tank (thank god the crabs missed it too :rolleyes) ![]()
