Things that minimize heat imputs...
1) chiller is remotely located.....so, it's heat exhaust doesn't affect the tank.
2) a single Sequence pump ( 1 amp), that has an output of 3000 gph, runs everything....returns, skimmer, po4 reactor.
3) no UV...no Ca reactors....there is ozone through the skimmer though. The skimmer is Deltec 702....so, minimal heat generation there.
4) lights are just four 48" T5's on one tank and six 24" on the other.
Overall....there's not much heat additions. When I was monitoring the chiller this past summer, it was turning on for about 15 minutes....then off for about an hour. The set up is very simple...nothing fancy...just a very basic system with no where near the sophistication of my main reef.
