Some of my mods to AR620

These are some of the mods I have done on my AR620:

Pic 1 is an added light fitting (15w Power Glo, 18000k), this was added to the 2 fitted lights(1xblue actinic, 20000k, and one marine white, 10000k)
Pic 2 is light with reflector aimed towards the rear of the tank
Pic 3 12v DC fan to cool the lighting
Picture 4 and 5 is the overtank filter chambers, first one is filled with pre filter wool, seachem matrix carbon, seachen purigen, seachem phosguard, second chamber is filled with a few chunks of live rock rubble, I'm wating for a light to change this into a mini fuge so I can add some cheato, oh and pic 4 shows digital thermometer
Pic 6 is a DIY crab trap as I have a predator crap I'm hoping to catch tonight
Pic 7 is DIY blue cold cathode tube for moonlight
Pic 8 shows Koralia Nano, MJ1200, surface skimmer attached to stock pump to filter and heater(mag float on the opposite side)
Pic 9: Can anyone ID this?
pic 10: The new Trochus family as tank has now cycled (hence the diatom bloom in some of the pics)

What is the trap for?

A crab that they have in the LFS saying "crabs not to have in your tank"is the same as one that hitchhiked in with my live rock, you may remeber from the my thread the other night as my wife discovered it whilst I was away

How did you find it? The only thing I'm worried about is the temp it fluctuates(slowly) between 26 and 27.5), I've never got it down below the 26 mark
