great tank...I see you are from Staten Island, do you go to Animal Kingdom on Amboy Rd and Richmond for your stuff? I am planning on upgrading my FO to a reef and they have a great selection. I have been going there for a long time and they seem to do a great job with fish. Looking for some feedback on how they are with corals and $$ for equipment, lighting etc. Or will I be better off purchasing equipment online.
Saying hello and introducing my reef.....

very smart going wit 100lbs.. i actually dont have any problems with heat i have 2 fans that both push in air and a big hood for air circulation.. im changing the 2 fans (computer fans) to toyo fans very strong so i dont forsee any problem and no chiller needed and adding another 2 up top one pushing air up out of the hood and the other pushing air in the hood.. just incase one of the other 2 every fail...... also the setup is in my basement which is always pretty cold.. when the lights are off the temp is about 77-79 when the lights are on its about 77-80 say i would have to say around 79.....
you could do 2 fans one blowing in and one blowing out.....
