I need to get my nanocube temp down a bit. It sticks around 78-80 deg. but I need to get it down to 75-76 to keep my H. Kuda seahorses comfortable. What are people doing to keep their nanocube cool? Has anyone tried the nanocustoms ICA?

My wife has a 24JBJ and we had to set a fan behind it blowing towards the front. Even after rmoving the top to replace it with a MH pendant I have to run it every once in a while.
Just have to watch or the excellerated evap.

I tried the first version of the ICA, not a good design, the 2.0 version looks much better but might only drop it a couple degrees, not the 5 you need.

Have you looked at the iceprobe that marinedepot sells?

I bought a fan fixture off of the big auction site for about 25 bucks. It was just four PC fans in a nice enclosure that mounted on the back of my 24 gallon. It cooled the tank by 4-5 degrees. The evaporation is the key. The fans will make it more rapid. You could even get a temp probe with an on/off switch to turn them on when the tank reaches a certain temp. and shut off when cooled down.

Just thoughts.....
