Ideal Summertime temperature??

inline6 · 05-18-2007, 12:50 AM

Guys/Gals,

Recently got a 1/10 HP chiller thru Drsfoster, working like a champ so far.
Right now it's set to 79 degrees.

Was wondering is there a ideal Summertime temp that will save on the electric bill but also be very comfortable for the corals and livestock.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

To maximize electric bill savings, I'd say 81-82.

Also got the 1/10th. I Set it at 78 and should keep it there.My opinion.At first it'll fluctuate but it'll even out.Fish might get a little stressed if you have any but they'll be fine.

I'm thinking of raising mine to like 81 or 82. It comes on so often now that the weather is warmer and heats up my apartment.

lol - Bro, you need a chiller for your chiller.
On a normal winter day Allan's apt is a balmy 90-92 degrees.
