It get hot in there - you need an input of room air for cooling. I have one 140 mm computer fan blowing into the cabinet.

No I have not looked at UPS- I live in an area with rather stable electric grid. Last 2 years - one power breakdown for 1 hour.

Do you think it would get less hot if you had all the separate power bricks? I am trying to understand if this is a superior approach or not.

I am 100% sure it saves space, but I am debating the heat/risk of having it

No - I would think it will be less surplus heat with my system but it have with the efficiency of the PSU to do,

For sure less heat and energy consumption

Mine does the wriggling thing on my lps and has already "loved" a lobo to death, gorgeous fun fish but a pain in the rear.

Someone at youtube ask me for my spectra during peak time (12:00 - 18:00). Here it is. The watt figure is not the right - it is around 240 W in reality

@Lasse just got caught up on this and those are some awesome videos. Thanks for sharing.

Would you still do that DIN mount panel it if it was on the dry side of a cabinet under the tank? Or would you think it would be too risky with having a tank above?

Lasse · Nov 8, 2021

I think it does not matter what type of PSU you use - DIN or the open ones - the DIN that I use is not waterproof either. If you get a leak from the aquarium - you are in trouble anyhow,

Hi Lasse: I remember you had a thread about this issue, but forgot to make the question there. Did you figure out the NO2/NO3 correction factor for the Hanna checkers?

I'm sorry if the answer is somewhere.

Lasse · Nov 8, 2021

I did not - but for the low checker it seems that the conversion factor is very low but i do not know. So low that it should have no significance at all - very low interference from nitrite. - but I´m not sure at all. For the high - no idea. i will do some more test further on

Hi Lasse: thank you for the response. Actually, I was worried about the high range nitrate checker. I'll try to do some tests too.

Currently my tank shows around 0,05 pp NO2 and 4-7 ppm nitrate. If the correction factor is around 100 (as it is the case for the Tropic Marin test), then most of the nitrate reading should be attributed to nitrite.
