Heat Wave
 

How is your tank doing with the warm weather upon us?

I have activated my CHILLER and yesterday had no problem holding the temp in the tank to 83.

The weather is finally getting to be a lot more like the summer we have been waiting for.

It is now time to review your hot weather plan.

With air conditioning and fans on controllers the large tank maxed out at 81.4 and the other tank at 81.2 yesterday.

What is too warm for a tank??

why 83? isnt that really hot? mine is 79 right now

I match it with new zeland water temp seasonally so you should see a trend going up a bit but its usually within a .5 of what its suppose to be.

Lucky for us our basement never gets above 80, tank never gets above 79.

So far so good with both tanks right around 80 degrees. Having the one in the basement helps and both are LED lit so that helps too.

Tank reached it's usual 82 yesterday but I expect it will go to 84 today. Lights get shut off if it goes above 86 :biggrin:

I swaped out the kitchen light with a ceilng fan was hittin 83 now 80 maybe warmer today

Mine got to 81ºF yesterday and I expect that is where it will peak again today. A single high velocity fan cools it but if it gets too warm the controller will shut off the lights before it climbs any higher.

I have the air conditioner on although it's struggling to keep my apartment below 77F.

Right now my tank is 82.5. I have another air conditioner I'm thinking of setting up.
