Do you need a chiller for the heat from those halides?

 

[Rookie J]

Nope. Run two 4" fans on the timer for the halides. Keeps it at a nice 78.5

 

[Rookie J]

Thinking of getting two radion pros. What do you guys think ?

 

[powers2001]

Did you get the radions? They've been on sale crazy you know.

 

[Rookie J]

I did get radion pros. Since I work at the store I get a decent price on them. Just waiting on my reef koi light bar to come in. Added a few cheap frags today. Tank isn't super clear because I fed

Picked this little painted scorpion up as well

 

[SeahorseKeeper]

Looking good!! I love the scorpion!!

 

[Rookie J]

Thank you. I think I'm going to move him up to the display. Hopefully he does well. Reason he is in the sump it to try and get him trained on mysis shrimp. Right now he is eating live ghost shrimp but I know my six line or one of my tangs would snatch them up before he could get them.

 

[Rookie J]

Went ahead and added the scorpion to the display.

Looks very nice.

 

[Rookie J]

Thank you

 

[Rookie J]

So I tried feeding the scorpion today and just like I figured everyone else got the ghost shrimp before he did. Anyone have any ideas on how I can better target feed him ?

Scorpion hanging out behind one of my brain corals

 

[Rookie J]

Figured out how to give him a chance to eat.

Got my radion pros up and running.

 

[TallShow]

Great tank, J! Looks even sweeter with those new LEDs. Plus they'll save you money.

 

[Rookie J]

Thanks.

Hoping to save a bunch of money. Since I was running the halides my electric bill jumped up $100 every month.

That scorpion is different but I like it is it reef safe
