This type:

Has this been chronicled on these forums? Sounds like a thread worthy of reading. (adding your experience to the mile-long list of reasons not to shop at :EVIL: Wal Mart)

With a HRV and 4 tonne air conditioning system in the house, the tank has no worries.

I am also happy, boy it was hot today.

Don't blame Walmart. I have 2 of these exact same fans. One from HD & one from Superstore.

I switched to a reverse photoperiod a couple nights ago so my MH are NOT on during the heat of day. Along with a 12,000 btu portable AC unit, its been very nice temperature wise in my groundfloor suite. It's usually 5-10 degrees (F) cooler down here than the upstairs suite, which is why I'm never moving up

Trouble zone begins at the mid-80s.

Very glad I've got a basement tank. So far the max temperature has hovered around 80F with a fan across the sump (knock on wood).

I went to a early photo period today. 7 to 3 it seemed to help, topped out at 81 today.
