And even on the rainy day with the exposed area I do have there is still evaporation occurring so it all just kind of works. Dave B

I have been watching your webcam of your tank for several weeks, and must say, what a nice setup! Today, I noticed a very strange fish in the video. I zoomed back and panned left to see this big fish! You!! Im glad you had pants on brother!
NICE SETUP BY THE WAY!

I tried to take some photos of the outdoor frag tank this weekend, but in the evening light none of the colors showed up. Will try again this week.
Here are some photos of the main tank. Left side of tank Center of Tank Right Side of tank Full Tank Shot

Thanks Dan. The next couple of days will be interesting. I haven't gotten a new seal on the geothermal tank so I am working with just evaporative cooling. Yesterday it hit 100 during the day and the system only hit a high of 81. But the next couple of days the temp is going up another 5-10 degrees, so hoping the evaporative will be enough.

Lawrence, The outdoor tanks (frag tank -140g and xenia sump 250g) are connected to the inside display tank. Everything gravity flows from one tank to the next. My Apex has an outdoor temp probe and today it measured a high of 106 in the shade. The system hit a high temp of 82 from 2 till 3pm and then the system started dropping down. However the lights start turning on a 4pm so now I have to see as the Halides kick on if the outside tanks, which are now in the shade of the house, but still outside in 100 degree temps can keep the tank temp dropping through the evening.

Thank you for the compliment.
Sadly last night I realized that my Goldflake Angel was not out and about. Found her under the tank. The perils of having an entirely open top aquarium. I lose usually a fish a year, but it's usually a wrasse or firefish. This time it hurts quite a bit. I grew this one up from a small juvenile. Dave B

Got motivated this weekend to shoot some video and learn how to edit it.
So this is my first attempt with Adobe Premiere. Any tips or tricks to help me make better and more enjoyable videos I would definitely appreciate. Dave B http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z89ZC1RZ6Ac

I do not mean to pick on you. Most of the people here who do videos could learn these lessons, as well. Hope that helps. Dave.M

Awesome tank! Does having as many fish as you do help or hurt the water quality and sps?

I have the 5' fluidized sand filter which handles the bio-load of all the fish no problem. I think my SPS look good, but not Amazing or incredible compared to other tanks I see with people with much better tank husbandry skills. But we are usually always our worst critics. My water quality is mostly based on high evaporation levels and lots of daily kalk top off. Dave B
