    When Roger lived in VA, he had a cop for a neighbor who just by coincidence used to walk his dog a bit too close to Roger's house on a regular basis. :lol:

    i had the lights on for about 10 hours the other day and the water was 89. so i took the 1/10 hp chiller off and put a 1/2 hp chiller on. which also adds more flow in the tank, the first chiller had 500 gph the second has 1000 gph. also the single filter sock is a pain so i have a different filter sock assembly coming today that has 2 socks with the same drains. the rubble rock is almost ready, a couple more days of soaking. there are now 3 chambers for the Ca reactor, CaOH2 on aatoc and seachem gel. lugols solution to be prepared for transfer of corals. the one ballast is not firing right away so ill call hamilton to have another sent, then send them this one to fix. having a spare is always nice.

    the frag tank is going to house sps that are going in my 350. and im probably going with 3-1000w mh se instead of 3-400w mh se.

    Looks Great RG. 1/2hp chiller WOW. That's what I use for my 370G. You shouldn't have much problems keeping the temp down now. Are you using a temp controller on the system?
