Nano cube chiller

[ychan]

I have a 12gallon nanocube. It is getting too hot. Does anyone know which chiller is the best to use for this size without drilling the tank??
Thanks!

Thanks for your info! Does this mean I have to drill hold to my nano cube dx, 12gallon?

Nope, if you can figure out a way to mount it, do you have the factory canopy on it ? If so could also add another fan to canopy, this is what i did my my dx

I have factory canopy which has already contained 2 lights and 2 fans. Where do you put your chiller. Is it near front of the tank. Thanks.

If you don't care about the "factory look" of your canopy and want to bring the temps down I've seen people do two things:

1. Knock out the inner grids from the vent covers (leaving outer grids to preserve canopy look.
2. Drill two holes in the back of the canopy to install two additional (60mm? - check appropriate size) fans to blow the air out from the tank.

I hope it helps. I'm bracing for the summer too. I have 14 Gallon biocube (ulike my signature states).
