It gets to around 40 at night on average so on colder nights I close the doors to the tank and the heaters in the sump keep it to 78degrees. However when I start running my full photo period of 8hrs of halides at night (since electricity is cheaper) I won't need heaters at all.

i was in flagstaff so it wasnt that far north... i might be exaggerating but the difference was so weird to me that it threw me off..
tank looks great again i'm gonna start a cool little mission where i'm gonna go to as many reefers and taking a picture with the owners and their tanks... i live in illinois so i'm gonna start here but as much traveling as i love doing, i think it'd be a great idea

Actually it's pretty far north in comparison to where we live, about 3hrs away and possible a few thousand feet higher than sea level. Just so you have an idea, right now it is snowing up there in Flagstaff but at our house it's about 78 outside. It is really strange having the ability to enjoy snow and mild winter at the same time, the elevation makes a huge difference.
I look forward to your next trip out this way, you'll have to drop in and take my photo:lol:

This is looking great. I am inspired to start my tank early next year. Can't wait to see your next set of pics.

The Apex controller is next on the list in addition to some sort of QT setup, I'm also performing the first water change this evening....man it is just too easy! Tank parameters:
Temp 79.8 degrees
PH 8.2
SG 1.025
Alk 9
CA 420ppm
MG 1320ppm
PO4 0ppm
N03 10ppm
NH3 .5ppm
I still need to test my fresh salt mix.

Thanks, I am happy that I was able to inspire you, as I myself have been inspired by many others as well...Good luck with the build!
The dry rock was seeded with an additional 80lbs of live rock...

Thank you for the comments and for following the build
Thank you very much...I am hoping to start stocking with coral and all of the fish after the first of the year.
Aren't the colors on those guys sweet? The RPE is doing quite well I'm trying to decide if I will eventually transfer them to the big tank. I will be hitting you up in the next couple months for a ton of frags so get busy
