Does anyone have a chiller I could borrow? My central air just went down and my tank is already at 81 degrees. I had one I was going to buy but the sale fell through. My tank is a 55 with a 30 gallon sump, so around 75 gallons of water. Thanks! Cory (801)9284136 Text me any time. I am good for tonight, I think, and will be at work at 6 tomorrow but I could take off early to come pick it up... ------------- Cory 180 Gallon Mixed Reef Radion Pro LED 75 Gallon Elite Sump/Refugium |

A fan blowing on the water's surface can drop a tanks temperature significantly. I would try that first before leaping to a chiller. Chillers can actually make the problem worse as they put off considerable amounts of heat into the room they are in. ------------- Steve http://utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40637&PID=356246" rel="nofollow - My Old 180G Mixed Reef Currently: 120G Wavefront Mixed 29G Seahorse & Softies Running ReefAngel Plus x2 435-8 |
