Nanocustoms Nanocube 12DX / ICA questions

[shinosuke]

Hello,
I've got a few questions about this tank from nanocustoms.
I am looking into getting either the 3.24-72watt or the 4.24-96watt version of this tank. I live in the south eastern US, and it gets over 100 on some days here. If I get this tank, I will most likely also get the increased airflow and r2 moonlight mods, but I was wondering if there is much of a problem with these tanks overheating. I would be keeping it in my office at work where it hopefully won't get too hot, but you never know what will happen.

Does anyone have any experience with these, and with an ambient temp. of 75-80, would these tanks have a problem with overheating?

Does anyone think a chiller would be neccesary for one of these tanks? I wouldn't think PCs would get too hot, but if so, is the ICA a good option, or how about the Iceprobe Thermoelectirc Aquarium Chiller by Coolworks?

Anyones experiences / opinions / stories on any of these are greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

I have the 4.24 mod. My tank runs 5-6 degrees above the ambient temperature as do most of the others I know of. My house really never exceeds 76 and the highest temp I have seen in my tank is 81. With an office temp of 80 you may want to consider an ICA. There is a thread over on nano-reef.com about adding an iceprobe to a nanocube.
