Here is a picture of my two day old light bracket. The wifey didn't like the look of this. So I went to home depot yesterday and got an aluminum bar and some stainless steel S hooks and screws. And now the wife is happy

sorry didn't mean to get too defesive. i just know people on forums can rip people pretty bad sometimes. i was kinda weird actually, i got the fish from the store and brought it home, acclimated it, and put it in the tank. the weird thing is that it didn't even hide or anything, acted like it never left the store. swims all the time looks very happy

As a side note, When I had my 40B and the same HOB fuge I could never get my temp stable with my heater in the fuge. I wound up placing my heater in the tank hidden by the rocks.

Only thing that would worry me is if the refugium pump goes out you have no heater.

Damn, I never thought about that. I've been using this hang-on for the last 3 years and so far everything is fine. I change the pump once so far. I know these pump go bad after a year or so. So i always have one extra laying around. But i might change my mind now. When i had the 20gals i didnt have room for the heater to be in the tank, but now that i have more room i will put it in the tank now. Thanks Herozero.

Re: 40 Breeder FTS Thread
Just food for thought. If your heater doesn't turn on often (I'm in soCal and it rarely does) it won't be a problem. But I've kept heaters in skimmer bodies and had skimmer pumps go out. Them again, same thing if your return pump goes out and you have a sump with heaters there. So i guess it all depends on how much you want to worry.

Living in PA the house is 62-65 in the winter. I think it came down to not getting enough flow through the fuge to flow around the heater enough.

Good deal. Those were a little more than what I wanted to spend.
