86-88 with fans (many fans) without chiller... 78-79 now with chiller for the last 6 days.

 

[bromion]

Max 82 with many canopy fans. I don't have a chiller, and if temp goes higher I switch to low-power lights.

 

[garod82]

84 high with fans. I'm loosing about 1.3gallons per day of evaporation

 

[818]

81F with no fans and AC.

With AC I can get it to 80-79 if its on the whole day.

I was down in Oxnard/Thousand Oaks the weekend, man would I kill for some of that weather, simply amazing!!!!

 

[pledosophy]

76 with a couple of fans and an AC. I am loosing around 4 gallons of water a day. I lost so much in one day last week I blew out my Mag5 return pump because the return pump chamber was empty. This all happened during my 12 hour work shift.

I also turned off my PC's and am only running the T5's. I need to get a chiller.

Strangely, my tank did not cool down overnight last night and was at 82F this morning, which is usually the peak on a hot day. Gotta replace my fuge light; that sucker is HOT... and just too hot to be stuck inside a stand.

 

[Hendersonracing]

79 with moonlights on during the night and 80.5-81.0 during the day with mh & acitincs on!!!

Temp controller is set at 78 low and 80 high. to control heaters and fans on my 400 in the garage. It pretty much stays there.

House tank w, open top gets up to around 82 or so during the day. I need to add some fans in that area to move some air and cool it down. It's in an alcove so there is not much air circulation. It has 2 X 150W DE MH hanging Helios light fixture over it. About 5" off the water.

My cool fishies are enjoying their new AC (funny, we treat our fish better than ourselves) at a pleasant 77-78 degrees.

 

[ScotchMaster]

My tank is 81 at night and gets to 84 sometimes during the day....

 

[jrcastro]

Where's the best place to face the fan(s)?
In the sump?
& what type of fans are good?

My tank was running at 83-84 w/ a fan placed in the back of the canopy. It wasn't doing much b/c it wasn't blowing water across the tank. I installed a 5" fan on the side of the canopy and now my tank runs at 78. I never would have guessed that the location of the fans would have such an impact on lowering tank temperatures.
