I was thinking the same thing ... weird :confused:

Cheers

(That is weird...)

Did this topic come up when you were planning your tank? Seems like it might become a concern. I had issues during summer with a tank on the main floor, but don't expect any now with the tank in the basement.

Much better...
:cool:

BASEMENT TANKS ROCK

:onfire:

82-85F for me right now. I have a regular household fan that I set up on a timer for the hotter months that seems to do the trick - just alot more top off...

Yup tanks in the bASEMENT ROCKS I DO ADMITT.
MY TANKruns at 78.8 all the time. :mrgreen:

:lol:

yup again , why good morning there DAD

i didn't think it would be an issue when i was planning things out, since i have a ceiling fan and only a north facing window. and i mean, it's alberta. i figured chillers were for americans and maybe ontario and bc. basement isn't an option, since i don't have one. the one consolation i do have is that the temperature my house was yesterday is about as hot as it ever gets, somehow it manages to stay comfortable in there when it's 32 outside. and i should note i'm doing absurd amounts of top off, i'm refilling my top off bucket every three or four days and it's 25 gallons as i recall.

:eek: You sure you don't have a leak somewhere?? I evaporate a lot, and 25 g would last me 10-12 days!!

Don't forget that our air is somewhat drier than most places (in Alberta we call 15% humidity "rain") so although I agree 25g seems like a lot of evap it's not completely implausible. I go through about 5g per day on my 75g right now, about 5g every two days over my 72g, and about 5g per week over my 20g. This is ... I would estimate about 2, 3 times as fast now, as compared to the winter months.

What does concern me a little is that 25g every couple of days is a lot of water being added to the ambient air. Teevee, it's a good thing you have a ceiling fan, that way you can keep the air moving and prevent mildew from taking hold...

(But then, I suppose with that greenhouse attached to your house, you probably already know a thing or two about controlling excessive humidity. :wink: :lol: )
