Joseph9123 Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Can't wait to see the final tank pics. All those equipment will make a larger tank happy too, lol. -Joseph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be open top as well (at least for now). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph9123 Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 I'm going to depend on how close the pendant are to the water and if you have one or two circulation fans. I have one 250 in a close canopy and 4 vhos and have some heat issue but I'm okay with a warm tank. 80-84 all the time. my 58 gallon. -Joseph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
