Thanks Lynn. I think the chemistry experiment turned out fine.
Just before I got the new temp probe, the heater stuck on while I was at work and the tank raised to 78.5. Well all my fish and corals said they liked the warm spell, so instead of cooling it down, I decided to stick with 78 degrees instead of 77. I got the new temp probe installed and it sure is nice to run the fans and heater again with the controller. I did decide to get a new heater cause I know the one I have gets stuck on (or off). I guess it's about time to change out the UV bulb too, so that will also be in my upcoming order.
I got something really purdy today, but I have to wait for it to grow up. It is a very tiny frag of a Rainbow Acan.

I'd take a pic, but honestly, it just ain't much to look at. My other acans I got last August have really taken off since I changed the flow, so I think this one will look awesome about 6 months from now too.
