Tank Temps
I ordered some more slimline fans, but my temp still swings from 77 to 84 in a day. Is 7 degrees too much? I was hoping to wait till next month to buy a chiller, but it seems like I need to do something sooner. --Kurt |
Tank Temps
I would adjust the heater so that it keeps the tank up to a higher temp...like say 80 or 82 deg.......then the swing will be less overall......84deg is a bit high, but IMHO is not really that far out of line when you look at the online temps of various reefs of the world. It is however a drastic reduction in fudge control if you run into a situatin so you have lots less wiggle room if it was able to be run at a max of 82 F. If you already have fans ordered I would just bump up the heater a few degrees to reduce some of the swing, , install the fans and work at obtainig a decent happy medium of temp with a bit of playing with fans and heater settings. Are you going to use a variable power supply for the fans........A variable supply is best as you can further control speed and noise levels of fan and have more precise control available. Most fans will run on 4.6 to 14 volts of DC power.. On Sun, 21 Jan 2007 19:40:39 -0500, KurtG wrote: I ordered some more slimline fans, but my temp still swings from 77 to 84 in a day.

7 degree temperature swing can be stressful on your fine finned buddies.
Try and tighten up the temp swing +/- 3°F Say 77°F - 80°F Temp should be kept between 76°F and 83°F Chris "KurtG" wrote in message ...

Tank Temps
My LFS actually advised me to set the thermostat on the heater to around
20C - this was to compensate for inaccuracies within the thermostat itself...to prevent the tank from going too low if the ambient temperature did...and to prevent overheating if the ambient temp was too high....in a heated house that rarely falls below 70F and bearing in mind the temp added by the lighting this kind of made sense to me - just using the heater as a fail safe....of course I do not live in an area where temps go that low for it to be an issue overnight...and personally would not be comfortable myself if the temps in the house dropped to a level that would really cause the tank temps to drop that significantly.....some fluctuation is natural though...I was always taught that it was sudden variations that caused a problem rather than gradual changes....might be wrong though....

I have seen this issue debated on web foruoms for a few years. LOtsof
info one way or the other in regards to max temps and temp swings / differentials. Iknow for a fact the water in th ekeys or bahamas cools down consideranbly at night once that sun goes down and a tide occurs........so fish do go through temp swings on a rather routine schedule with sun up sun down and tide changes and storms.......it happens. Same for max and min temps. I prefer higher temps and less swing......I know person in the phillipines that runs his tanks at a cool 86 deg, and he says that temp is pretty well common place for all the reef and fish keepers there. 86 is not all that uncomon for aot of reefs either around the world and there are even a few that are a bit higher. As an experiment one time I ran a tank with just corals in it at 86 deg and they did do fine, actually best they ever did with a SG of 1.026 and 86 deg F, but I thnk its a bit extreme if fish are at that temp. Yes they may live and do fine, but a bit more increase could be a fish and shrimp boil too.

That's high,. but not dangerously so (I run my tank this hot myself) OR Less easy - get a chiller with a dual stage controller. |

Thanks. I'll do both and try to level this out. --Kurt Add Homonym wrote: KurtG wrote: I ordered some more slimline fans, but my temp still swings from 77 to 84 in a day. Is 7 degrees too much? yes.

Given my climate, I think I'll go for the higher end and try to keep 80-83 as my range. --Kurt TheRock wrote: 7 degree temperature swing can be stressful on your fine finned buddies.

Look around you Roy Tristan Hauer in these groups on USENET..
Just how many folks actrually hold a on topic conversation with you once they read your slanderous depraved sex posts? HOw many can you converse with , without getting into a ****ing contest in short order. Just Gill. Anyone with 2 brain cells killfiled you long ago.

Face it, your a hypocrite, a habitual liar, a drunk and a barely literate loser.....any way you look at it. NOt justb any loser, but a big dumb loser without anyone in life that gives a rats ass that really means something so you come on usenet to get your rocks off.YOu can tell by the folks you patronize that hang with you.....al have low self esteem like Antonio, no morale fibre, poor famioly life with parents who yu did not know or who did not care as they to were illiterate swamp trash......and a well known abusive upbringing with no regards for anyones beliefs..........your a real classic Roy Tristan..... |

I saw the debate on this issue for several years based on Web forums. Lots of a way of information or other temporary workers and the maximum temperature fluctuations greeting / differences. Iknow the fact that in the water or the Bahamas at ekeys night once the sun goes down and the cooling considerably tide occurred.

I asked some fans no more fattening, but my temperature is always 77 to
84 in one day. 7 degrees is too much? Yes |
