Oceanic Bio-Cube Temp

[birdbait1]

Please Any Suggestions would be appreciated. I'm running an Oceanic Bio-cube 14. Running my lights aprox 8-10 hrs a day. But I can't keep my TEMP down . It seems to run at 82-84, Whats gonna happen when it hits Summer. I want to get corals going so I will need the light , Correct. Any Suggestions on how to keep my Temp Down. I am running a heater in the section that was for the filter. I've turned it down to 75 recently and am watching to see.

I run my tank at 82.4...a little high, but stability is the key. I have a 20g with no chiller running...just our a/c (usually about 78 during the day). My T-5's don't run as hot as my old PC's did, so it's not as high as it used to be. If I were you, I would check the temp one day while the lights have been on for a while, then set the heater up for that temp. I may not necessarily have any "cold water" corals, but the ones I have are thriving including frogspawn, monti caps, a couple of acros, and some softies.

Good luck!
