Just some rambling thoughts........
Firstly, Ugly......yes, very (At least we will all probably agree on that one!!!)
Now, Good, or Bad......We all know that high tank temperatures are bad, so a chiller seems like a good idea. We all know the rapid changes in tank temperature is also bad, so after what I saw maybe chillers are not such a good idea after all??
I was round a mates house during the last bout of warm weather and his chiller kicked in while I was there, it dropped his tank temperature by 1 degree in about a minute. He said (from what I recall) that it kicked in every 20 minutes or so therefore his tank temperature was going up and down 1 degree every 20 minutes.
Is this better or worse then say your tank rising (for arguments sake) to 28 degrees while the lights are on (10 hours) and then dropping to 26 degrees during the light off period (about 14 hours)?
