Pumps and equipment 3 compartment sump with skimmer in 1st comp, mech filter in second and live rock with return pump in 3rd
Maintenance i am currently doing a 15% water change weekly and i am buing synthetic salt water from my lfs. i have not changed any of my lights globes or tubes as they are still new.
Other info and photo's. I have noticed a slow increase in temp and i am worried that it will go too high. i am sure that it is caused by the lighting because it seem to come down over night when the lights are off. my heater is se at 24 degrees but the display thermometer is showing a climb up to26.2 degrees and the it goes down to 25.5 over night. wiil the lights make it go beyond the safe 28 degrees? Please help.....
