THEDUKEOFMD Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 okay i have a two and a half gallon and it was running at about 84 so i got a fan but the problem is the fan is really small but it cools it down to about 74 degree's during the day but at night when i turn it off the temperature rises to about eighty degree's does anyone have any ideas how to stop this from fluxuating so much it doesnt seem to bother anything but me Link to comment
Bobalouy Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 How about you leave the fan on all night, and get a heater incase it goes too low? Its easier to raise the temp with a heater than lower the temp. Link to comment
SLOreefer Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 or you can get a small cpu fan with a variable speed control so you arent having two different things battling the temperature Link to comment
nu2salt Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Fan & heater work great for me.. 78 degrees all the time Link to comment
