OTHER: Central Air...
My biocube is closed and the temps raise in the afternoon. I have a fan pointed into the holes in the back of the tank that is attached to my inkbird temp controller. It's not fantastic at reducing the temp, but it does seem to keep it from raising further. So I have it set to kick on around 79.8 degrees and so far my tank hasn't gone above that. It's only June, but its been hot here (high 80s to 90 and super humid) so it seems like it'll work for the summer. The fan has been coming on a bit earlier lately.Quick question- how does everyone with an enclosed hood keep their tanks cool?
The wifey made me enclose the sump and build a tank topper to eliminate noise and the occasional skimmer odor. Since doing so I've noticed a drastic increase in tank temps, even with my ac set to 71-72. I assume a fan wont help much since it will just be recirculating the same air.
Not sure how you built the hoods, but can you put small computer fans in the build of the hoods? Have them pull air out. Have a gap or something on the bottom so they can pull air through.
