I just got back into the hobby after a 12 year hiatus (I had a 60g reef for a while and then a 120g FOWLR). I have a lot I need to relearn. I set up a Biocube 32 this weekend and am having a terrible time keeping the temp down. It was running at 84 degrees yesterday. I took out the heater (it was set to 72) and propped the feeding door open a bit overnight and it's down to 80 degrees now (or 82...two thermometers and they're different, awesome). I had the lights on a 12 hour cycle and reduced it to 11 for today to see how it goes (30 minutes sunrise/sunset, and 1 hour moonlight included in that, so full lights for about 10 hrs).
I do not want to remove the top, cut the top, etc. So I'm looking for other options. Propping the lid open isn't an option ongoing either (we have cats). The only inexpensive idea I have right now is to get a clip on fan and point it into the aquarium back through the cord holes. Everything else I can think of would require much more money and more work. I had read reviews on the tank, but didn't see any mentioning this problem. Now that I have it though, I've found it's a pretty common problem.
This is the new biocube with the LED lights and it doesn't have a separate door over the back section like I've seen mentioned on older posts. Any help is greatly appreciated!
