I'll start:

 

What a difference a year makes.. I am fast coming up on my 1 year anniversary with my 12g. When I bought it, it ran stock at 86F in 78 ambient. Thats what launched Nanocustoms.

 

 

That tank was a 48w Stock 2004 DX.

My new tank with the ICA:

 

 

Tank Size : 12g

Pumps: Rio Hyperflow 6HF, ZooMed Powersweep 214

Lighting: 70w MH

Highest Temp: 85.6 High 82.3 Avg

Ambient Temp: 91 F High 85.6 Avg

 

A big big change from 1 year ago. Im sure i would have hit 90 if I didnt have the ICA.

I'll play ... sans ICA ... just to give some perspective

 

Tank Size : 12 DX + Moonlight + 1 fan set on Med blowing at the tank 24/7

Pumps: Maxijet 900

Lighting: Stock DX

Highest Temp: 85 ... normally runs just over 82

Ambient Temp: (if you know it)74

All stock with the exception of the maxiget 404. Old pump placed in tank as powerhead.

 

85 degrees unless I put a external table fan directed to the glass.

At work, we have a cube running one of these chiller units

 

Tank Size : 12gal DX

Pumps: Stock + extra minijet 404

Lighting: Stock DX

Highest Temp: Usually 86 or ambient air but I think the lowest temp I ever saw on it was 82 with the ICA unit.

Ambient Temp: (if you know it)79-86

 

The hood is always lifted up or the feeding part is always open. I don't know if that makes a difference.

Tank Size : 24

Pumps: maxijet 900, rio400 in display

Lighting: stock

Highest Temp: 85 before ICA with the fans on always when the lights are on, 79.5 after with the fans on except for the last half hour that the lights are on. If I keep the fans running the whole time temp gets too low, 77.

Ambient Temp: (if you know it)74-78. Not measured at the tank. Thermostat ready for house. Ambiant at the tank is probably slightly higher since it is a corner with little circulation.
