Thank you all again, and especially the committee for choosing me for this honor. The cooling tower is especially effective and simple. The only thing required was two in-duct fans and some flex tubing. Both run outside. One draws in and the other out. Since my sumps are in the basement, in the same room as out furnace and air conditioner it works beyond perfect. Before I was always heating the water in the summer as the air conditioner kept the room too cold and trying to cool it in the winter. Now the fans pump cold air in the winter and warm air in the summer. Now that I have added the Azoox corals I keep my water at a steady 77 degrees. An added bonus is, it has cured the PH problem of the closed up house.
The corkscrews are very easy to grow, you just have to feed them. The more you feed them the faster they grow. The are by far the fastest growing corals in the tank. Although I have a blue one that has grown only an inch in the time the others have grown 8 inches.
Thank you! No the display is just over 150 gallons. It is 32 inches tall, 24 inches front to back and 48 inches wide. I would also like to take this moment, since the month is ending to thank Jim and the staff at Captive Reefs and the many people here who have taught me so much with their experiences.
