MH lights heating my tank.
KurtG wrote:
If it's not one thing, then it's another... I came home this evening and my tanks temp was pushing 86.4. Ouch. I turned off one MH, turned on the AC, and have a fan on the tank. It's starting to cool off, but what now? Chiller? Any other tricks? --Kurt Just a follow up. I think 3 major things solved this problem: * I added a second heater to keep the overall temp warmer * Added a tank surface fan and sump fan that are on the same timer as the MH lights * drum roll...... Removed the ballasts from the sump enclosure. These generate a lot of heat that the sump was picking up. --Kurt
