David,

 

I just got my 24G DX cube set up and am noticing temps of 82.5 (with a Coralife digital thermometer) after 6 hours or so of having the stock lighting on.

 

Just curious what your temps look like on an average basis.

 

Thanks,

 

Marc

 

PS - It's my first tank, and if you look up newb in the dictionary you'll see my pic!

Hey Marc,

First of all... CONGRATS!!!

 

I've heard that the Corslife thermometers can be quite a bit off. I use a Tom's, and so far it seems pretty close.

My temps did climb up fairly high on hot days with the stock lighting. Now, I'm open top with MH, and on hot days it climbs up higher than I'd like. I have a fan I position at the tank. It seems to bring a down a degree or two!

I think if I where you, I'd make sure the digital thermometer is accurate...

 

Good luck bro, and keep me posted!

Give me some time... I'll get used to DSLR some day!!! :lol:

On a side note, tank is coming along. It's actually been HOT here the past few days, so the tank has been heatin' up a bit more than I'd like. But everything is doing good!

I picked up a submersible LED fuge light today, and moved on from my "ghetto ass" soap dish fuge!!! :lol: We'll see how the chaeto like it's new home!!!

 

Thanks for looking all!!!

Man tank looks great! Love the light from the sunpod. I have been thinking about upgrading my lighting but really love the look of the fully enclosed full hood. Thinking about the JBJ Nanocube 150 HQI upgrade canopy but I'm worried about heat issues. Anyway back to your tank. Love the Acans. I just got a Duncan frag today when it grows out maybe we can exchange frags. Man I need to set up a thread for my 24G nanocube. Keep up the great tank and pics!

Get the Sunpod!!! At first I really loved my closed hood... Now that I'm open top, I LOVE IT!!!

 

Thanks a million for the great compliments! I really appreciate it!!!

You{re on about the exchange... That is if I grow a pair and decide to frag and ship!!! :lol: I{ve always worried that I{ll kill something!!!

Took your advice got a sunpod coming in. Seeing how good your tank looked under one was one of the reasons why I decided on the sunpod vs. the JBJ upgrade canopy kit.

You will NOT be dissapointed!!! I too loved the look of the closed canopy. But, once I went topless with the Sunpod, never going back!!! :mellow:

Keep me posted how everything turns out...

Thanks bro! That was a sweet deal I got at my LFS... I think I paid thirty for that rock!!! I am a little worried the Yellow polyps will overtake the zoas though... We'll see!

The clowns are great as well!!! I rescued this pair of mis-bars from my local "Death Co." They are much happier now I think!

I took it off for a while, just for some change. It's been back on now for a few weeks!
