More help needed

[birdbait1]

Okay , I'm running a Oceanic Bio-cube 14. Having all sorts of problems keeping my Temp. down. Running 82-84 degrees during the day with my lights on. Eventualy I want corals which of course I will need the light. How do I do this and keep Temp down. Any Suggestions would be appreciated. CHILLER for such a small Tank ??

are you using a heater? what temp is the room?

only thing I can think of with what you mentioned above is to turn the heater down to like 76 if your using one...

You could also get a small fan from wal-mart and have it blow across the surface of the water. This will help keep the heat from the lights down and cool the tank some.

Okay a little more info. Yes I'm running a heater. Turned down to Aprox 75. This is about the same temp of room.

depending on what heater you have it may or may not be working properly. I would turn the heater down to the lowest setting and see if the tank cools off. How long are you running your lights each day ? Maybe a thought would be to leave the lid open to let heat escape ? Don' really know never had a nano
