ok, update...
well, the tank gets WAY to hot to even have the HAlides on for a bit....the temp spikes way up! so i shut those off, and wont put them on till i get a cooler...i will have the T5's at a shortened time... from 3pm to 10 pm for now.... that seems to be stabalizing the temp at about 79-80... still too high... but i just cant do anything else.....the halides spike it up about 4 degrees or so....and quick.. so anyways.. thats my plan for the week i am away! i leave in the early morn!!! Cozumel baby!!! cannot wait! i still have so much to do around here..
i did get a clean up crew... my diatoms were really working over my tank... i got like 5 huge turbo mexican snails... and like 10 astrea snails...as well as a tiger tail cucumber they had there and a cleaner and skunk shrimp... so they have REALLY cleaned the tank up... unbelievable how fast they did it! so there it is...al shall be well..... when i return! im off now! see you all when i get back!
Adios!
