are you sure you want those star polyps? are you going to put any other corals in the tank? if so, you will need to get rid of the star polyps now before they completely take over your tank.

Halides do not necessarily mean "chiller".  Keep that in mind.  I've been running 2x250w halides over my 75g tank for about 6 years now and have never felt the need for a chiller.  Items such as cool running Eheim pumps instead of heat sinks like MagDrives can affect the heat of the tank much more directly than lighting.

my two cents:  To me, with having as much money in my tank as I did and not have both high and low temps protected is "jumping" on thin ice.  At least if a relay sticks and your lights stay on all night or all weekend when your gone at least the chiller will pull the heat out for you.  I had a heater stick on all the time a couple years ago and the only way i knew it was that my chiller stayed running for a hole day without turning off.  If I hadnt had a chiller all my corals would have been dead.   Chillers are too cheap at under $1000 to not have one.  thats my two cents but may only be worth 1 penny..LOL

price update.  will take $50

Ill take the red tipped yellow milli also.  you must deliver please

whos wagering for and against?
