Fully assembled

So the tank and plumbing are fully assembled and running.

All in all I think the plumbing came out really well. Its nice and quiet and reasonably easy to work with. And the more the salt water runs through it, the quieter it should get, or so I hear.

The one problem I am having right now is heat. Its currently running at 86 degrees. To combat this, I turned off the extra power heads which were there for circulation. Each was drawing 62 watts and were transferring their heat directly to the water. I am also running with the cover opened for a while. While the T5 lights I have up there don't make a lot of heat, its enough to worry about until I get some sort of ventilation going. I have an IceCap variable speed 120mm fan to put up there, just have to figure out how I am going to mount it.
