Well Mr. Marvin came over this morning and helped me cut some holes in my sheetrock and we routed the 2 hoses for the chiller and got it going!

I watched my temp off of Apex Fusion all day. It would swing between 77.8 and 78.3 about all day. My halides just went off for the first time when they were supposed to! Not when the tank got to hot (which has been everday). So the chiller is working well!

The temp controller on the chiller only goes by degree and not by .degrees so I can't adjust it anymore, so I think I'm going to have that swing in temp all the time, .5 degrees is alot better than 5 degree swing I was having.

Can you put the chiller on a apex plug instead? Maybe set it to power on and power off the chiller. Then leave the setting on the chiller as a failsafe, not to go below, incase it ever got stuck on.

Just wondering.

Tried getting some pics of the fish tonight. They are stubborn. They are 24 hours into their API General Cure treatment. Doing well. Ate great tonight. Still have peace so far between the tangs!

The poweder blue is going to bounce off the achilles. Now you got me wanting to pair them up.

Okay just got a Sexy Corals box in. Had bought it actually on Veteran's Day back last year, I had changed tanks so I told him to just hold it for me until i was ready. I'm ready now. This is the first time I've bought a box (which you don't know whats inside). The box cost me $225 with Veteran's discount, was a $300 box. This is whats inside it. And what its worth.

I was shocked.

How often do they do these boxes? Is it a one time once a year thing or what? Those are some nice corals you received.
