My temp would drift between 81 and 83. It didnt matter if I had the MHs on for 6 hours or 12 hours. I didn't have the glass lids on either.
Here's what I've got on a 90g tank.
1 x MJ1200
2 x 250W MH
4 x 65W CF Actinic
1 x Corallife SS65
1 x Mag7
2 x 26W CF over sump
I also have a 200W Rena heater set on 76F. With everything I have on there should my temp have been that high? I.e. is something not working right?
I took a little 6" fan and wedge it between the tank and the wall to blow over the water surface and it brought the temp down to 78-79 over a period of about 5 days.
Only now I am evaporating somewhere between 1.5-2 gallons a day. Is that typical?
What experiences to others have with evap?
I bring home 2 gallons of DI from work every day and I'm just keeping up. Over the weekend the level in my sump is sure to get low.
I'm sure the overwhelming response is going to be .... get a chiller.
