for some reason it's still EXTREMELY cloudy. i don't mind so much cause i'll be doing a 50% water change every week for the next 3 weeks before absolutely any livestock goes in.
haven't really thought of doing a test on water as of yet cause i find it pointless when i have to go through cycle plus 3+ weeks before anything goes in.

With our 30g with a MH fixture, it takes a lot of trial and error to get the temp just right. You have to figure out how long you can run the bulbs without spiking the temp. Also, with your new controller, you should be able to hook up the fans and lights to kick on or off if there is a temp spike.
We have had our air conditioning running 24/7 for the past two months. When the breaker blew before that, we had bad heat issues and lost a bunch of corals and inverts. I am also waiting for the temp to drop just to get some fresh air in the apartment.
It is not a aquarium model small version I got from buy.com they were 18 bucks free shipping. Saw the same ones in staples for 24 so is pretty good price on low they are really silent.

I checked when I got home but didn't get back to you sorry. The base has four small rubber feet. There is not a place to attach anything to the bottom unless you took the feet out. It is quiet small 12CM diameter, perhaps on a small shelf behind the tank. It is enough to drop the temp in my tank 4F.
here are the new updated pictures of items bought. have yet to receive. should have everything up and ready by this weekend. so i'll take further setup pics then!
R2 solutions moonlights - 44 shipped via aquacave.com
2x Underwater 5w lights for fuge - 45shipped via inTank StevieT from nano-reef.com
Jebo dual fan from ebay.com - 25shipped
i picked the jebo fans over the azoo due to the fact that azoo needs to be clipped onto the rimless portion and wouldn't be as appealing. so i bought the jebo which can clip onto the backend portion. i would hope it has the same results. the price is the same. so can't say "you get what you paid for".

i also did buy my test kits. API salt water master test kit and reef master. i read reviews stating that they are fairly good. but i would still have to get a different test kit for MG. I'll try Elos MG when i'm ready for SPS.
I think for my initial staging i'll be starting with my zoa and ric garden. then i'll move onto one or two acans.
