Confused About temp
- Thread starter DSR
- Start date
I figured that the gave off some heat, but it isn't going to go in the stand anyway (a bit too deep). As for noise it can't be louder than the two fans that run on the light hood all the time. I have also read that the particular chiller I am considering is very quite (it is the Aqua Euro 1/13). Would I prefer not to buy a chiller and spend that money on stuff for the inside of the tank... yep. But other than the very unattractive option of duct taping fans to teh outside of the nano tank I don't see any choice.
I have a 1/10th and if you put your hand in the back, ya, the air is warm, but when the rooms temp is already 85-90 that extra 1-2 degrees it may heat the room isn't noticable for me. 
They sound like a mini refrigerator when they are on.. not what I myself consider excessively loud. I have one of those sitting directly behind me at my desk as work and the only time I know its on is when the compressor turns off and makes a clunking noise. You definately need to give a chiller room to breath, putting them in a stand, even if they do fit, is a terrible idea unleass your doing additional ducting.

I hadn't thought about circulation issue until this AM. I will put it outside of the stand. With the loud fans on the current hood, I can't imagine anyone would even notice the sound of teh chiller (these fans are loud).
When I add the Sunpod that will cut out the noise of the hood fans. so maybe it will balance out.

If your tank will have an open top, I'd hold off on the chiller until you can see what the temperature will actually do.
I'm seeing a more rapid evaporation rate now that the weather it starting to heat up. I've got the frag tank sitting at 80*, so far I don't have too much heating problem but then I have the A/C set at 76*. Sorry Al Gore and EPA, I'm going to stay comfortable and my wife breathing!
