I still have a few of those. I put Sicce PSK pumps on them and they skim as well as any new skimmer... and better than most. Somebody is going to be happy with this.
Since the introduction of dial-up bulletin boards, there have been posts and worries about similar things. I cannot remember any of them that have passed outside of really deadly or harmful type of restrictions on venomous snakes, tigers, lions, cougars (the 4 legged kinds), etc. You just have...

AquaChill Industries Chiller. This is a commercial drop-in unit like you see in Lobster tanks. Takes r134a and has a service port - it probably needs a squirt of refrigerant. This is a high end chiller. It comes with a working Ranco Controller. 110v.
Free in Longmont.

Light timer on Mh just turns them on and off. It takes a few minutes for the MH bulbs to fully illuminate, so there is a slight ramp up, but then they just shut off. I am not sure that ramp up and down does for the tank, but some people like it.
I mostly use MH too. I have had the fixtures and ballasts for more than a decade, there is no cost savings in daily running to have the same output and any heat in the room is fine since I spend 70% of my tank cost to heat them. This does not even speak of the excellent performance.

It hit me while I was driving around that some have reported mass Verm death when dosing Lanthanum Chloride.
I have never tried this and there certainly could be other unintended consequences, but I just wanted to post...
