HEAT ALERT : get ready to CHILL

reeferaddict · #1 07-17-2006, 05:59 PM

I think I'm ready now... whew what a difference since I ducted the hood outside... now my tank/chiller aren't having a tug o' war with the AC and it actually gets cool in here... oh ya... I can see through the windows too now... and to think it cost all of $30 and I put it off for a year... *note to self*

I've got an 11000 BTU AC and a 1/4hp chiller and my little condo is still cooking all the time which makes it harder for the tank to stay cool. Granted I have a lot of equipment giving off a lot of heat but I expected it to be a little better than that. I'm going away this weekend too. Better set the lights to stay off when it's going to be really hot. I hope everyone gets through it without incident. Good luck.

Thanks for the "heads up" Chin, I saw the weather today on the news and it didn't even register upstairs

I too will make some lighting adjustments and will crank up the fan over the sump

This is great, the one weekend I am going out of town until Sunday. My main tank should be Ok but I am worried about the nano. Would it be detrimental to the tank to leave the light off for a couple of days? Or should I hook up a much smaller light just so they have something?

Midknight. Perhaps change your timers so the lights go on at night this weekend.
