Nice...I have a 16G nano that I'm working on and I've been stressing over heat possibilities a lot. I'm a ways from getting it running but I might just try your method.

hmmm thats interesting. Ive been looking at the jbj hqi for a little bit now and my issue was the expensive chiller. It can get very hot in my house during the summer. My FW tank reaches temps of mid to high 90's for a week at a time. My fish love it though but my plants suffer.
Anyway, if the two fans work for you thats awsome. Im worried i would need a chiller with a MH

Wow, great looking tank. How long has it been running? How do you keep it so clean? Are you running a skimmer?

ok I'll stop with the 20 questions now Very impressive looking tank I must say. My nano is an algae pit.


Love those fans though, I think I may have to investigate our local crappy tire

Actually christyf its only had coral in it for about a month now its pretty fresh. I had a bunch of alge not long ago but i went out and bought 9 snails and those little buggers have been going non stop. They are my new best buds! haha. When they get lazy i help them with my cleaning pad. As for the fans i was shocked how well they work, i dont have ac just really dark blinds but they do the trick even when its hot. For $20 dollars and a buck for the hooks they hang on im happy as heck. (or really lucky) lol. And im just running the skimmer that came with this tank. no extras here just some ugly fans haha.

Thanks for the close-up, Spanky. Your tank is really nice. Let me know if you ever frag that coral and I shall be happy to take a few heads off your hands.
