my home made chiller

[andiruleu]

before my tank was above 84.. didnt know what temperature it was at because my strip only goes up to 84 and there was no color on it... and the water was really warm. now with this home made chiller, its at about 78-80

 

[antiant]

IS THAT JUST A REGULAR FAN THAT YOU PUT SIDEWAYS? I BELIEVE YOU CAN GET THOSE CLIP ON ONES AT WALMARTAND PUT SOME ON...I BELIEVE THEY ARE LIKE 7-10 BUCKS...I BELIEVE SO BECAUSE I BOUGHT SOME!!!! HAHA

Fish are going to be swimming a little funny if the "chiller" falls in. Sure hope the breaker does it's job if your "chiller" gets wet.
Might look a little better if you put one on the other end to balance out the look.

PLEASE put that on a GFCI!

And add a piece of eggcrate under the fan, that rests on the ledges of the tank. It won't interfere with the airflow, but will keep the fan from falling in.

... unplug it before you touch that thing!

I have my fan on the wall.

Is everyone cringing right about now. If the fan falls in you wont have to worry about the tank temp begin too high. REEF SAFE

 

[andiruleu]

i have my fan in the back of the lights... its prettty stable

 

[UnlimitedReef]

I have both fans on the sump.

I use two computer case fans on my canopy over the water surface, four computer fans on my MH lighting fixture, and one larger fan outside the side of the tank when necessary. Getting air flow behind the tank really helps, as it's against an exterior wall.

I have 4 computer PC fans installed in my canopy with some cool effects. Check this video out I almost fell on my *** as I started backing up. Anyway heres my tank as of 5/19/06 11:00pm PST :lol:

Anyway the 4 PC fans are hooked up to a 12v power supply.

I use a clip on fan on the sump to drop the tank temp down to 74F even with the 5.5wpg.

Now that you have moved your fan, you might also want to buy a real thermometer so you know what is really going on. Nice looking tank.
