How are your tanks doing....

[Nu2SW]

So im curious for people who dont have a chiller. How are your tanks doing with these temps hitting 105 and above.

Mine the other day got up to 84.5 didnt have the fan turn on, but turned it on and it went down slowly.

no chiller here and I'm at a constant 82. Fans are on the same timer as the halides to help keep things stable.

I stay about 80-81 in the summer with the AC set to 79. I have one fan in the sump that runs 24/7 and 3 fans that come on when the lights turn on.

mine tank stays at 78-79. House is AC set at 76. Have 3 fans up on top of the canopy that will go on if the tank hits 80 and off at 78.

wow yours guys power bills are probably high... I can never keep my air 20 degree's under the outside temp or my ac will be on all the time...

I keep my house at about 80-82

My tank stays around 80-82 during the summer. I also had it climb to nearly 85 a few days ago, so started putting a small fan on it this past week - temp seems to stay around 79 now.

I can't wait for winter (except the rain....I work outside. )

my tank stays stable between 79-80 . it peaked at 81ish couple days ago [the hottest day] .. house is kept at 78. I have a scroll looking fan that i got at walmart for about 15 bucks that works awesome, its longer and flatter so works great to blow across the surface of the water. ANDDDDD its virtually silent.

Our tanks are between 79 in morning to 82/83 at hottest point. We keep the air conditioner on at 80 mainly for the tanks. We have a fan blowing across the top of the water and a fan blowing on the sump.

125gal, no chiller, no A/C, dual 400w radiums. tank hits 86 avery once in a while, and stuff's dying. i'd recommend a chiller... I'm trying to find one myself...

 

[Underwaterparadise]

79-80 but did get up to 82.8 one day when my wife had the AC on 82. AC is normally kept at 78-79

I'm just telling my fish and corals to stop being little babies and get used to it. I find using a firm hand and a raised voice tends to keep them from bleaching and dying.

Then again, it could be the fact that if it never drops below 75 in my house. Electricity bill hurts, but Im not about to start sweating and having my beer turn warm minutes after opening it.

I started the morning with no power here in Elk Grove for a couple of hours. Luckily, the power was on before it got to hot, but the house did get to 84.

Good luck guys... My central AC has been running 24/7 the last 5 days. I hate to see the PG&E bill for this month.
