for people with ac

daaznmofo · 06-09-2008, 07:59 PM

what temp are you keeping it at if you have climate/temp control?

MikeyZO · 06-09-2008, 08:22 PM

my room stays at 68-70 with my AC and I dont have a problem with my tank (PC lighting). Even when I turn the AC off and it goes up to 74ish, I'm ok

My AC stays on 70 and my tank temp is at a steady 77, and thats with 3 250w metal halides.

i got my AC on full blast, and am having trouble keeping temp in low 80's. I usually keep it between 78-80, but last two days its going up to 85, Im freaking out.

Im running MH lights 2 on 2 off for a total of 6 hrs. and running AC in room 24/7, but still struggling, looking for a chiller

What helps me is that one of my central AC vents is right over my tank. I was having bad heat issues even before the heat wave but since I got rid of my versa tops and went topless the tank stays nice and cool. What a difference going topless makes

If the temp is getting to hot, even with the A/C running full blast, I would keep the MH lights off until the hot spell breaks. Either run you other lights, VHO, PC or T-5, or leave the tank dark for a couple of days. The tank will be fine without light for a couple of days.

Hey guy's remember the results may differ depending on where this guy lives and the size of his tank lighting etc

my in room ac is running 24/7 and my chiller is running about that much. the tank is staying 81 degrees with both MH's on.

Ah, this concerns me...for my lack of A/C in that area...or when I'm out of the house
