hot

[trottman]

my tank is reaching into the high 80's close to 90 by the time my MH's go off. i have the light about 6 inches off of the tank and i have the tank covered by acrylic sheets, i also have the sump covered by acrylic sheets.

too hot?

what to do?

[Letmegrow]

Vent. Get a fan. Keep your room cool.

[trottman]

thanks...... i see that you have finally moved away from your spiders and now are interested in girls!

wat is PT's?

[Letmegrow]

Huh ?!

Do I have to bring back the - "What you talkin' bout' Trottman ?"

Evaporation is the easiest, most efficient, and cheapest way to cool your tank down, so take those tops off.

I got some new tarantulas.
I've always been interested in girls, they don't always seem to be interested in me.

When did the law change from 1.025 to 1.030?

[trottman]

well, i saw that your Inerests thing says girls instead of spiders.

and i saw that you work at PT's... wats that? your a personal trainer?

[Letmegrow]

Oh, I see.

The Mods are smiling today.

[Shooter7]

wow, you really stand up for your manlyness

[Letmegrow]

Sticks and stones.... sticks and stones.....

[trottman]

i got my tank down to 85-86 during the hottest part of the day, and about 81-82 during the night. is that still too hot?

thanks

[zt444a]

Did you take the sheets off? That will help alot...

[Letmegrow]

86 is fine for a peak.... but it should not maintain there...

You want to maintain at like 84 for the bulk of the day.

Get a fan on that sump.

[trottman]

i keep my sump covered so that the equipment under the stand does not get a salt bath

[drgabe]

Can you put a barrier between the equipment and the sump? Thus no salt spray and allows air movement around your sump, decreasing the temp?

Get a fan... a cheap fan.. from your favorite discount store (Wal-Mart, etc)... the clip on type... clip it to the sump and have it come on during the day when your MH's are on.

Just a couple of ideas.

[Chelsey]

Another thing to consider Matt, and I know from experience, your acrylic WILL warp over time. I'm not talkin a little tiny bit, I'm talking a LOT of warping. The acrylic on the sump might not necessarily warp since there's no high output light (I assume) over it, but the stuff above the MH definately will. Good luck with your temps! :)

[trottman]

i have use acrylic for over two years on my tanks. with MH, it has been fine. only warped about 1 inch, other than that it kinda go brittle and has stayed that way.
