help with High temperature
I have 180 gallon tank with a sump/fuge. Lights are 3 250MH with two 6 ft actinics. I have two hood fans that are heat sensitive and get faster as it gets warmer. I also have a fan over the fuge during light period. I have a chiller and pinpoint temp controller keeping the tank right now between about 79 and 82.5. The heaters very rarely come on and the chiller runs about every half hour during the light period for about 10 minutes. The tank will generally level out at 86 degrees if left alone.
The question I have is how high can i safely set my temperature controller without affecting the occupants. I have sps, clams, fish and inverts. I want the chiller to come on less. It is in my living room and although not overly loud it is loud enough to bother me and puts out additional heat into the room which in the summer is annoying. I will probably move it some day into the laundry room but will have to put some holes in the floor etc to do it. So will be a bigger project and postponing it for now.
