what's your tank temp running at ?
 
Well mine hit 83.1 today,i'm getting a little concerned and was thinking of chilling options any thoughts ..

My tank is higher...84+...just got my chiller as I don't want to lose shrimp and corals this year! Well worth it, hooking it up this weekend.

what temp did your tank hit when you lost the shrimp/corals etc ?

Chaloupa 06-02-2006 02:53 AM

we figure it was around ... 90-92, no really my tank gets HOT (we lost some small frags too)! You should be in our house...phew!:biggrin:

I have had my tank hit 85, 86 degrees before with no ill effects, but usually it sits at 81

also...we figured since we plan on having this tank up for many years we might as well make the investment in a chiller so we don't have to worry about the investment we have already made...and it sucks when you have something that you care about and have "made it work" and it dies due to heat

my 55 gal runs at 80 and my 10gal at 82, summer time is fine because we have central air so i dont see any rise in tank temp.

Man I just checked mine and I am up at 86 today - definately time for a chiller!

76 degrees. Love living in basement or ground floor suites. The big test will come starting next month though.

I'm at 80.4 at night and 81.5 to 82.0 during the day. I've got a temperature controller coming which I bought on eBay. I want to try for a 78-80 range.
