Cube

[reef-nut]

I have a 24 gallon cube and it has the built in pc lights and I can not keep the water temp. where it needs to be. If you burn them more than a couple hours it goes up over 80. The built in fans do not help.

first off, you should post your questions in the correct forums, and not the "forum feedback/help" area. ;)


does this cube just have the stock lighting? or has the lighting been upgraded? ambient room temp also makes a difference.

I'm not familar with this cube, but if its got a canoply on it I would crack it open and check the fans,

or if its a fixture, I'd pick lights up off the water

We have the same problem with a 29 gal cube in the summer. I went to Target and got a small cheap table fan and directed the air towards the rear lid so the air blows across the water going thru the filter compartment. I'll try to post a picture of this in a day or so. How many watts is your heater? Are there hinged lids on the top of the hood? Maybe you could post a picture of what it looks like.
