Can anybody tell me if this is ok.....my temperature in my tank is not steady at all....I have 2 thermometers in my tank, this morning they were both reading in the higher 70's...one was about 78.5 the other was 75. Now that the lights have been on for awhile and the house is warmong up one is at 80 and the other at 81.5...what is the safe temperature range???

Wow....my tank is WAYYY too warm then!! Right now it's at almost 84. Guess I should turnn down the heater lol....I thought that I wanted to be over 80 with a reef tank :P

I kept the last tank I cycled at 82 throughout the process. I read something, somewhere, that indicated that the bacteria establishes itself and grows best at that temperature.

Now that the tank is ready for livestock, I've dropped the temp to 77-78 (which is where I keep my other tank).

Just wanted to see if there are any updates on this tank, I have the same one and was wondering if you have done any mods to yours or if you have any tips or tricks in regards to it's maintenance?

Hello, I do still have my tank! Unfortunately I moved to Vancouver Island so I had to sell everything I had I have just started from scratch and have LR and sand in place as well as three coral frags, snails and hermits, stay tuned as I have my LFS bringing me in my first fish for the tank! A Grade A Picasso clown!!!! I am very excited, though it could take some time to find what I'm looking for. As far as mods or anything though, the only thing I have my LFS looking for is if I can replace the bulbs in the Nano with Metal Halide. I will keep you psted on that
