sjwalton Posted June 29, 2002 Share Posted June 29, 2002 okay so i got the 2x36watts from ahsupply, i put the two bulbs in the canopy also from ahsupply. All is good right? wrong. my temp is steadily rising even with a fan sitting right next to the tank. Any suggestions. hurry. please. aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Link to comment
Dave ESPI Posted June 29, 2002 Share Posted June 29, 2002 you have a fan running NEXT to the tank? you need to go to Dadioshack and get CPU fans or Home depot or an Electrical supply store for DAYTON 110 volt fans. they are around 20.00 2 should be sufficiant. ALSO what kind of hood are u using? it could make all the differance in the world. PLEASE SEE MY HOOD THREAD IN THE DIY section Custom Hoods for sale... there are some pics there. My 10s never get above 82 unless it is wicked hot in the apartment. Link to comment
HuBu Posted June 30, 2002 Share Posted June 30, 2002 if you have a fan blowing in you have to have an opening for the air to flow out... Link to comment
