I need recommendations for the following:
46 gallon bow front reef tank, 31 lbs of live rock, 80 lbs of live sand, currently home to a small rock anemone (he hitch hiked in on the rock) a frog spawn coral (or something like that), a mandarin goby and a few crabs and snails.
In the near future I will be adding 1-2 false perculas, 1 regal tang and a pair of seahorses.
Currently I have a hood "daylight" flourescent. It is extremely bright. Though I have read I need other spectrums of light for a healthy reef.
Here is the big issue for your recommendations.. I am in Florida where I keep my house at around 78-79 degrees. The tank with the light on heats up to 82 by the end of the day now. I would like for it not to get over 80. Recommendations with possible raised fixtures and fans would be good. I prefer something that looks professional and clean as opposed to hooking fans on the side here and there.
Thanks in advance.
