Heat up!

[Louie3]

whats a fast way i can use to cool off my water? should I put a MJ under it so the water is consntly moving?

[hammondegge]

zip lock bags full of ice or fans or both. the MJ will only add more heat.

[Marlin]

What's your water temp at ?

[Louie3]

Marlin:

its about 83 and usally have it at 79, is it that big of a problem or is thia an ok temperature?

[Louie3]

I'll try that out.

[Louie3]

You know what im going to get a couple of ice cube trays and fill them up with aqaurium water

[Marlin]

83 is still OK, if it gets to 85 or more you'll start running into problems. Why is your temp up? Is it the lights?

[hammondegge]

83 is ok louie. you dont want to go much above 85 though IMO.
i dont think saltwater freezes so easily. ;)

rick:

its the mh i put in i think i might want to make the canopy at least 9-10 high

just checked 28.5F.....or you can throw a flounder in there

[Louie3]

now that will sure help my heating problems now lets see about the water chemistry?

[Louie3]

I turned off the light so my tank should be going back to normal . im going to make the canopy about 10 inches high

[Marlin]

You need to get fans blowing across the water when you have all the lights on. For now a couple of inexpensive clip on fans from WalMart will work.

[Louie3]

you know those fans that go in a restroom, like the exaust or something like that i put on near the light and the temp seems to just stay at 80

[Bill S]

Fans will work. Less than $4 at Big Lots. Clip ons.

i guess im heading to browntown
