I try to keep mine at 78-80 but it's usually 80-81

 

[moose8721]

76.2-76.6

 

[blange3]

76 - 78

And it's real easy to keep track of now because I got one of those Pinpoint wireless thermometers. Really cool toy! It will handle up to 4 tanks, I have 2 on there now. :beer:

 

[Tsunami]

78 - 81.4

80 here

 

[sinkingbeach]

81 right when the halides go off, 79 in the early a.m.

I shoot for 78 also. Though my basement is heated by woodstove, and if we don't keep up with it on a really cold night, it will dip to 76.

77 to 82

 

[Phyl]

80-82 in the 120; 77-79 in the basement.

 

[ghost427]

79-80

 

[JRod]

75.8 to 78.5

I'm 81-83. Could it be too warm? Some of you are real cool.

I'm guessing everyone here has a chiller. Anyone know approx how much power is consumed to bring the temp from 80 - 82 down to 78 - 80. I simply never thought to run it cooler, but my Chiller seems to work flawlessly on my system, I could easily lower it.

Maybe this will solve ALL of my problems Yea Right.

no chiller on my tank. I have one, but its not hooked up. I know ill need one in the summer though.

my heater is blazing away trying to keep the temp in the 76 range. but thats also due to the fact that we are cheap college students and keep our heat set at 61 or 62 b/c heating our house is expensive for us.

No halides, no chiller.

Kind of hum that along to the tune of Bob Marley's "No Woman, No Cry"

House is at 70, I heat the tanks to 76 with no lights. Lights bring them up a degree, sometimes two.
