Hey hey, sounds like a nice tank bud. I didn't know people used UV sterilizers anymore in reef tanks. The guys around here will tell you the next best thing to do is run a refugium on your setup. Is this a new setup? Have you thought about adding a chiller if the temp seems to be running a little high? That's an easy way to spend a grand...

Got any pics you could post? That'll get you more replies. Good luck!

oh,i'm sorry i forgot about the chiller , i have a 1/4 aquanetics in line chiller also,and yes i do have a refugium ,is not that big but is something (20gl)

Can you tell us the dimensions of the thank and how your pumps are being used?

[orlandito]

the dimentions are72Lx28Wx30H ,and the pumps ,the way that i have it set up is like this.


1 iwaki 40rxlt (1200gph)i put a (y) conector wich it splits water to chiller and main tank , flow is controlled by a ball valve ,and the other pump (same kind) i did the same but this one is for skimmer and main tank.


so far works great.
