Hot 14g Biocube

[Nemos Boss]

I dont even have a heater, so there isnt anything I can replace. The kit didnt come with a heater and so far I havent needed it, as the tank never gets below 78.5. I did buy a small 50w heater but never placed it in the tank. If for some reason I have to do lights out for a week or two, then I'll probably have to put it in... but for right now the heater remains in the box and is just for emergencies.

Its probable better to use the heater and keep the tank constant temp. 83 isn't terrible if you can prevent swings. I would still look for an solution to cooling it.

Back to the OP...does the biocube have any extra fan vents that aren't occupied built in? If so you could add another fan inside of the lid/canopy to vent out excess heat from the light. Or if there is only one or both are taken, you could always up the CFM with newer or larger fans.

here is a pic of my DIY fan for my BC29. I have the fan on the same timer as the lights. Dropped the temp of average 2-3 degrees. Total cost was roughly $30.

Sorry too me this long to reply, the set up is build for 2 small ones. i been trying to get some fans the same size but better performance and its no good. im trying to avoid chopping the hood to accomodate something bigger... for now anyway.

That look very cool and for 30 bucks very nice. is that inside the hood or on top of the tank?
