I installed a cooler for the aquarium.
I used an indoor air conditioner to manage the water temperature.It was 24℃(75℉) inside the house and 26℃(79℉) to 27℃(80℉) inside the tank, but with the heat of summer in Japan, the temperature inside the tank was sometimes 28℃(82℉).
I don't think 28℃ (82℉) is anything I can't keep my corals in, but it increases the risk of bleaching, so I installed a cooler for the tank.
My aquarium cabinet is too small to put a cooler inside.So I installed a special pump and installed the cooler in the attic, 4 meters away from the tank.
This is the pathway from the sump to the pump, through a long pipe, through the cooler, and back through the pipe to the refugium.
This is what the cooler in the attic looks like.
The pipes are visible in some places, but I managed to get the cooler installed without obstructing the room.
