Biocube29 too warm

[Hands mcfeeler]

So hey everyone, I'm pretty new here. In fact, I joined a couple weeks ago to get rid of my tank before a move. Fortunately, that didn't happen and everything has done reasonably well after the trauma of moving. But I'm my new place I'm trying to keep my cooking bill down and not run the AC in the basement too much. The water temp is getting up there. I've got the lid on the tank so unless someone gifts me nice kessil lights (haha) running a fan on it isn't really an option. Any good ideas on cooling a biocube29? Thanks everyone!

Fan over the top of the tank is the cheapest, most effective solution. Surprised it gets that warm, basements are usually cool.

Yeah, it's the lid with the lights that's the issue for the fan. The temp has been getting up into the 80-81 territory and I don't wanna stress the corals. Thanks the the reply!

80-81 is on the higher end of acceptable. Back in the day with MH that was a normal temperature for tanks.

There are many options for a light beyond ETM Radion's. A single Noopsyche K7 should do the trick for lighting on a budget. But if you have any fish that are prone to jumping you'd need a screen top for the tank.

Without doing anything, just setting the AC down one degree can sometimes make all the difference. But in the end evaporative cooling is the lest expensive way to go.

Thanks! I'm gonna look into that light! I've wanted to do a topless tank!

Use a big fan, just watch out for your evaporation rate
