It’s started warming up in the UK, I don’t have a chiller so I’m doing everything I can to ensure the water temperature doesn’t get to warm. I’m running a RSM130D and so far my temp is where I want it but the house is warming up and not cooling down, so I’m focusing on ways to keep the temperature within the limits. This is what I doing so far.
1. Rear fan is on.
2. Lights are on for 8 hours a day
3. Rear skimmer lid is left open.
4. Front lid is left open
Tonight I will be placing a portable table fan directed at the tank to hopefully ensure temperature don’t start rising. Everything is working so far and I managing to keep my temperature between 24 C - 75 F & 28 C - 82 F. This is my first summer, the temperature’s don’t get silly in the UK normally so it’ll be interesting to see how it all go’s.
