Default Heat !

How are you dealing with the heat and keep your tank cool !


This year i have decided to use only fans on my 90 gal and changed the MH time and hrs to be on. I use to have the MH on from 1145am to 545pm , now i have have them on from 10 am to 130pm , this way i beat the mid day heat.

I also havent turned on the ac yet. I used to keep it on all the time to keep the tank cool. I find the fans are doing there job better that the MH are on less and start 2 hrs earlier , Evaporation is about 2 gals a day thou , but better then a kick azz electric bill i also live on the top fl of a 6 fl building gving heat all day and direct heat (windows ) from 9am to 3 pm.

so far so good , i do have my chiller for back just in case.

just thought i would share my experience.
