Its 92deg in San Jose; How hot is your tank?

[Keith Le]

My tank is steady at 82 but my chiller has been running for 4hours
straight. Can't wait for next months PG&e bill.

I'm in Sf so my tank is just 77

 

[Keith Le]

No chillers!? I hate you guys.
Would you care to make a small donation to "Keith's PG&E Bill Fund"?

Got up to about 95 in my part of SJ. The ambient temp in the room of my tank though was 99. So when I got home today, tank was at 84 when its usually at 80. So luckily, after last years heat wave, I bought a used chiller 2 months ago and plugged it in. Tank is back down to 82.

tank got up to 82.4F didn't realize it until around 1pm, put a fan on it, brought it back down to 25C (77F) within a couple hours.

Guys serious? It sure doesn't feel as hot though.

BTW Keith, 1/10hp JBJ chiller should do the job for you. I had it cooling my 100 + 45g sump last season w/o a problem. I have a 120+50g sump now, I haven't put it to test it.



Invest in an ACJR if u don't want to go chiller route. It will not cool but it will stop the heat from rising from the lights.

I've got a 1/4HP Power Cooler, its nearly 6 years old but it does the trick. I live upstairs in an ancient apartment without AC. I think the JBJ would would be runnin' all day as well. I am thinking about replacing my return pump though. I've got a Little Giant 4MDQX-SC, I think it runs a little hot.
