looks pretty good so far. How long has it been up? Do you have any powerheads?

my bro got his wisdom teeth out today and is sleeping but, we just have the return which puts out about 400 gph and another MJ 900, the tank has been set up for about 2 months

very cool! able to keep the temp steady? people gave me crap for having a 150w over my 29g but with dual 4" fans i didnt have a temp shift at all.

Coming along nicely!

there's a little ac fan that we bought at kmart that blows across the water just below the MH and the tank is usually about 80 and drops to about 78 at night, it evaporates a ton of water everyday like about 3/4 gallon which keeps it cool, plus the sump os completely open and the hood is jus egg crate
