Aqueon Circulation Pump 500 Petco - Exton

Added this pump to promote circulation in the tank and remove stale spots within the tank. I turned the filter return to the right of the tank and mounted this in the front top right of the tank aimed to the left and down slightly. The filter collector is in the bottom left back corner of the tank. However, Dani does not like the big ugly pump being seen and asked that I move it. I think I am going to have to move it to the front top left, which will be more out of the way. I'm just not sure it will provide as good of water movement to the filter like the right-side setup.

Lighting

2 8" Blue LED Light (Moonlight) Petco - Exton

Added two of these lights to provide more blue spectrum, but also act as moonlighting for when the main lights turn off. The effect at night is very cool, but I am unsure if I will continue to leave them on all day too. The kids & wife like the added blue coloring.

2 watts/hour

Thermometer

Coralife Digital Power Center Petco - Exton

Added to provide additional receptacles for the new blue LED lights, but also to provide a timer function to have the lights automatically turn on and off. I am not using the nighttime sockets yet due to the fact that the blue LED lights use a converter block that wouldn't fit, but also because I am using the blue LED lights during the daytime too.
