HIGH TEMPS: A little $$ can get you 3 to 5 degrees! Do you use one of these?

No way can I get that in there haha. I think the room is only ~5' wide and only 8' tall. I already hit my head on the ceiling when I get into the tank for maintenance.

Install a bathroom vent fan- it will exhaust the dank hot air out of room, and house if done correctly. Humidity from in wall tanks and or small fish rooms can cause all kinds of problems within the house unless properly ventilated and dehumidified.

I'm sure she wont be happy that the noise and smell is back, but it may be what has to happen!! Hahaha.

The airfilter in a car reduces noice, so maybe if you put some sponge under the fans, it kills the noise. Or a lowered piece of wood under the fans, so there's no direct sound coming through the holes

Thermostat set to 72 and ceiling fans do the rest.

I used my Chill Solutions Chiller on my nano in my classroom and now I have it on standby when and if our home AC goes out over the summer.

Chill Solutions CSXC-1 Unboxing and Installation

I purchased the Chill Solutions CSXC-1 hydroponic chiller for my 16 gallon BioCube. Even after taking the top off the cube, high weekend temperatures in my classroom were causing a small spike in temp. I want my aquarium to consistently be at 77 degrees. There are a few videos on YouTube and...

We live in the Phoenix suburbs and let the AC temp run at 78 during the day. The tank can spike up to 83 with no fans. (I tested it back before I had corals in it) I originally had bought the GHL 4 fan unit, controller and have it hooked to my Profilux 4. I would still see temps hitting 80. I try to keep my system at 78. I bought the GHL because it looked pretty... It's good for a 2-3 degree decrease

So I bought a cheap Vornado fan at Home Depot and it brings the temps down to the 78 mark. Presently I have to manually turn on the Vornado fan and I do it when I see temps rising above 79. Eventually I'll quit being lazy and connect it to my controller. With the Vornado running the Tank will drop to a temp where the GHL shuts off and heaters need to kick on to keep the 78 temp.

If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't buy the GHL fan set up. The Vornado fan does a great job by it's self.

How big is this tank?

Current system has a fan blowing into the sump, and a ceiling fan.
My new build is getting a mini split ac in the fishroom which will be set at 68-70. This should keep the system nice and cool. 320gal in house. 400gal, 210gal and 2 50gal frag tanks in fishroom. 270gal tote sump sunk into the ground and an 8ftx4ftx20inch grow out tank in a greenhouse. This is in central texas.

I used 4 120mm pc fans above my tank that kick on when the halides turn on. I also have a diy waterfall type algae scrubber in the sump that helps with cooling too!

Could you please post us the model Vornado you got? That's pretty sleek.
