Hello All,
So I have my 180 set up and running and I am stuck at 79 deg. Not really that far off but I don't really understand why it is remaining at that temp. My house is at 72 and the only pumps I am running currently is the bubble blaster on my skimmer, a mag pump on the return, and a small Koralia for circulation until my larger powerheads come in. As for lighting I am running all LED's. I have tried leaving one of the glass lids open(not advisable since I have cats), leaving the canopy open, the heaters have all been checked and I am using 2 different temp probes to verify and no matter what I do it stays at 79...
Sooo, 1-what is keeping it approx 7 degrees warmer than its surroundings?
&
2-am I really going to need a chiller for this?? :-( I purpously set it up with LED's to also avoid the use of a chiller.
Thanks,
Rob
