[beetle69]

this i

s my new 55gal tank that i got from my from a friend for free.

 

[yote]

Thats a lot of rock.

Are those halide lights?If they are,be extremely careful not to let any water splash on the bulbs.Or you'll have a tank full of glass.

 

[beetle69]

i'm sill working on the canopy for it

 

[ReefKeeper]

yeah, those halides are AWFULLY close to the water !! be careful with them set up like that. if they are halides ... they HAVE to be heating the water ALOT.

your tank has to be like hot tub ( for the fish)

 

[beetle69]

it gets up to 82

 

[MikMcgyver]

Ya, 82 is creepin a bit high, get them lights up off the water and add a fan or 2 to cool off the water a bit, try to aim for 76-78 degrees...

 

[Piggy]

Tank looks good.

 

[Bifferwine]

I use two $7 clip-on fans from Walmart to blow across the surface of the water. I think they might help you with your tank too.
