    carbon

    Interesting , Chemipure says you can leave in 1-3 months at a time... an that's what I've been using. But I also read , and now you confirmed , that running it only 1 week out the the month is better so it don't strip the water of good stuff and possibly leach bad stuff back into the water...

    Summer time temp

    A fan would be a good emergency item to have around it if can drop temp that much. or If using MH lighting a fan would be a must to keep temp cool. I use the T-5 and they give off very little heat I bought them to avoid having to use chiller. I like the T-5's

    Anyone drilled a live rock to add holes , What do you use ?

    I'd have to go slow if I decide to drill it, and test it.. I'll proubly know right away if it'll work or not. I heard that the underwater glue stuff don't work to good... I'm guessing you use a kind that works good What kind works good to glue rocks together ?

    Summer time temp

    I like your ziplock bag idea to make the frozen emergency ice pack , It's made for food so shouldn't have any chemicals on it, It wont take up to much room to float in tank when needed and better then icecubes... It wont melt in and mess up your salt levels ; ) Good Idea ! Thanks
