![]() I thought every superhero required either those tall rubber boots or a utility belt! Boots would go best with a Borat-suit!

![]() Hawk,
A top corner was framed off in the room and cased. It was slotted at the top about 1.5" below the ceiling to take the highest heat . A 6" hole (room dehumidity)and a 4" hole (heat from hood exhaust) were made in the exterior of the house, and originally ducted into a dual squirral fan inside. The original fan, ![]() Installed without casing, as everything was being dry fitted....Upper left it can be seen. ![]() Casing and external switching tee, incase i wanted to recover the heat from the halides in the winter. ![]() 2x 5" intake ducts were also put in just above floor height to bring in cool air, one on each side of the room. ![]() The squirrel fan i had already rebuilt some years ago, and seemed to get unreliable recently...so it was changed out. I was very pleased with the fantech inline (4" 115 CFM)(100% dead silent) fan for exhausting the canopy, and wanted to get another inline for the room exhaust, a freind hooked me up with an 8" elicant one. This thing just about sucks your adams apple out when its on. Here it is stuffed in there..was a tight fit. ![]() The canopy exhaust is on 24/7, the 8" is wired to a dehumidistat, and kicks on about once every 4-5 hrs at 45% humidity. When both are on i would guess a total at about 800 cfm of air is being vented outside. Marc.

![]() It looks like your canopy does a great job in containing the heat and exhausting it before it has a chance to build up. I was almost resigned to buying a chiller for this upcoming summer but I'm going to try making the same type of canopy first. Thanks for the info.

![]() Marc you rock and one of these days I am going to have to come and see your tank in person (snippers in hand of course). I have read your thread on RC a while ago now and what you with Jamie's help have built is truly amazing.
I like the "Superfudge" tag - you can be my reef hero - rubber skirt and all. |
