temps with todays humdity?

[chew*]

Haven't gotten to my Ac's yet, living on the second floor is hell.

Display hit 80.9 with a fan on a controller w/ 12pm-8pm lighting scedule

Frag tank hit 85 (not good) fan is running now. Reverse light schedule now in effect.

90g display I set up the other day in my buddies house hit 83 ( chiller is not installed yet, gonna try the fan approach first )

Jen said our tank got up to 83......I have two new AC window units, just haven't got them in the windows yet.

Ah, New England weather, got to love it. Give it a minute it'll change. Today was a prime example with a little bit of everything, except a snow squall.

And yes my tanks temperatures are up a little on the high side as well as I expected. A taste of what's in store for us. Time to get the air conditioners going.

I hit 83 today. I had to add frozen 2L bottles to cool it down.

seemed like only yesterday!

walmart has some nice white clip on fans guys, I think they are like $6.00, just some FYI a fan can evaporate more btu's of heat than a 8,000 btu AC in the room the tanks in.

Providing the ambient temps arent like 90....alot cheaper to run an AC @ 80 with a fan than at 72 and no fan.

Just to give you an idea of how well a fan works, temps were 85 1hour ago, now they are 82.4 with the fan, Yah it's not good to bring temps down fast, it's far worse to cook a tank however....

That's our plan for the summer to save on the electric bill.

The new tank ranges from 79.7 to 80.2 with one fan in the canopy.
I did have the AC on a couple of times today, it might have hit 80.4 yesterday w/o the AC on

I hit 79 today up from 78.5. Nice to have the tank in the basement.

83 and change today.

Just ordered a few clip-on fans from Amazon. They'll be here tomorrow.

84.. and my eyes fell out of my head

I hit 83 only because I forgot to switch my swanky diy controller into cool mode.
Usually happens the first warm day or so. Then I get the hint to switch into cool mode before I go to work. The ac3 is in the works really soon.

OOOO ACIII.....NICE, I could only swing the JR which should be here shortly.

Do you have a link for the particular fans you narrowed it down to on Amazon. I'd be interested in 2 fans but if the S&H is cheaper than the gas to Walmart then I'll weigh the difference.

I heard/read about that Barry very cool on the JR.
I wanted a JR a while back and decided that the ethernet on the ac3 was 1 of the most important features to me. Work is going good so I think it is time to treat myself.

88! Wow, hope things are okay.

I freaked out b/c my living room was a sauna and the tank was at 83 when I got home today despite the large fan on a controller I have been inching up to 80 from 78 over the last 2 weeks.

Things are slowly normalizing.

Time to get the the basement sump project going (it is in the low 70s tops down there).

84 with the new light (Maristar 2x250 HQI 2 39W T5HO) and central a/c on, might need to get a chiller if it goes any higher with the air on.
