LR dumped inside...

wasted...my 1262's heat killed the coraline algae while they were housed in the tub Glare lent me..

lousy arrangment...no flair like many of the great reefers in here...like DB,scarab and many many others...

[lvcap]

2 fans to cool down the water...not much help as the 2 return pumps are heaters!

eheim 16/22 hose as temporary measure as I cant get some piping parts...
