Temperature ok?

So after I had this whole issue of my 2.5g pico being too hot (88F!!!) I got 2 fans to put into the hood. Now, during the day my temp is about 75F. It goes up to 79F at night though. I'm kinda thinking to take one fan out, but if that temp range seems ok, I'll just leave it.

 

What do you guys think?

Yeah, try it with just one fan to try to keep it in the 78-80 range if possible. 79 is perfect overnight. Cheers!

Thanks, I think that's what I might do. And since I can get the fans for about $5 a piece I could cut another one up so there are less blades to see if that will just make the right difference.

I took out one fan, and the temp. with only one running is about 80F, so I think the swing back and forth now is alright!

try to limit your swings. you should be keeping the temperature as constant as you can. A 2* swing is ok, but try not to have it any more than that.

I took the one fan out, got 79.7 ish and at night around 80.3 ish. It's looking good!
