AquaPod FUN..... - Page 3

steve,

thanks for the info on the cooling. i recently got a 24g Aquapod and am having problems with heat. i was looking at the iceprobe chiller last night. this fan setup is definately another option. i have to skim back through the post, but is that the only fan you added? only other mod is the pump?

The pump exchange from the stock to a mj600
The Plenum - ZooMed power sweep (added heat, but actually very happy with the flow!) a combined 30x turnover but, its mostly behind the rocks as to keep anything from setteling. The flow is very random from through the rock work.

The cpu fan and I had to clip out every other vent fin in the hood....temps are holding at about 78.

Lights...I am driving (1)50/50 28w coralife bulb and the stock 27w dual atinic(420/460). Everyone seems very happy.

I am happy with the results running the skimmer 2 days a week as an add on until i figure out a way to pipe it and hook up a 30 gallon as a refuge. For now I have the cheato up in the corner and have watched it grow and trimmed it to half size just last week. I like the feel(color) it adds to the tank as well.

I would be careful about the iceprobe chiller, I too have a 24 gal aquapod and checked into the iceprobe chiller to lower the temp. The only customer comment on them is he bought 2 of them put them in his sump and his temp rose overnight. I hear they are supposed to be coming out with a nano chiller I am waiting and hoping to see that or will be forced to get a 1/10 hp one thats another $400 (ka ching).
You have a great looking tank mine just finished cycling and only hope it comes close.
