    There's definitely some awesome options out there, but like you said they are pretty big and space on my system is at a premium at this point. I look forward to hearing your thoughts after things slow down.

    Today it looks like the diatoms are finally starting to burn themselves out!

    I added the first coral last night, a monster alveopora, and with the algae going away, it should look good soon. I'll try to get a video or picture up as soon as the coral opens up today.

    Here's the alveopora I added. Not quite fully open yet.

    I didn't like the temperature swings I was getting, so I added on a fan to be turned on and off by the controller this morning. It should keep the temp within 1/2 of a degree from where I set it.

    :2thumbsup The easiest and most cost effective way to maintain temps IMO!
