Tying to get my tank back.

Nothing more really, when you get the macro just remember if you get caulerpa you will need to keep light on it 24/7, if you get cheato you can run a reverse light cycle on your fuge. When you get the sump online you could add a couple of hermits and or snails depending on how large your sump is. Was it your tank that got hot during the heat wave we had if so keep several pop bottles frozen in case it heats up again.

By a reverse light cycle...you mean run the lights at night, and off during the day right?

Yes, but if you have caulerpa in your fuge you will need to run your lights 24/7. The reason for a reverse light cycle is to help stabalixe your PH swings

Just for the record, you don't HAVE to run your fuge lights on a reverse schedule. I've a HOB fuge on my tank, and my MH lights the fuge as well...and I've never had a problem with it.

That being said, it's still recommended to run the reverse lighting schedule, from what I hear.

The reverse schedule works well. Personally, I run mine 24/7 with just Chaetomorpha. The only reason I decided on a constant lighting schedule was out of laziness, in that I didn't feel like plugging in or buying 2 more bulky timers.
