Thanks! My emergency management plan for my aquarium worked out well. I was able to figure out the strengths and weaknesses of the system. Now I need to start forcusing on improving my plan if the same event occurs during the summer months. Currently not using a chiller on the system but system would not be able to sustain itself for any long periods of time if the temp was over 78 degrees. Time to look to invest in an energy efficient chiller, if you have any ideas or recommendations, please let my know.

These corals are amazing! How about a new FTS though?

Thank you.

A new full tank shot should be available in a week or so. I have been moving a few corals around and I am not personally satisfied with the position/orientation of some of the corals in the aquarium.
