I'm tagging along with this thread. It's nice to see people get back into the hobby.

My getting back into the hobby was a must do thing for me. I lost my husband last Nov, and had to sell the house in Quebec and move back to Florida. But I knew when I sold the contents of my tank I would be seting it back up again.
Now it's just the question of using a sump or just jusing my aqua clear with it full of reef rubble, and my backpak. The stand only has room for a 5g hex tank to act as a sump....it worked well for over 3 years in Montreal, but my 20g worked well using only the aqua clear and bakpak2. I really don't think I will have the need for a heater, as it's doesn't get down to -40c here in fla. keeping the tank cool is more of an issue here |

Sorry to hear of your loss...
You've been in this before so this time around, you may want to consider the sump idea... It will give you more water volume ( hence ) bio-loading capacity and that also helps keep things more stable...... IMO Bob
