nano cooling

[blaster]

Any good suggestions on keeping the nano cool in the summer.I have the fan upgrade kit for the bio cube,but still looking for something else

A chiller would work well, you can find some good deals on them sometimes on the board

sorry about the late reply, as the other guys have suggested, a chiller of some kind would probably be the best bet on cooling if you dont have a means of dealing with the evaporation. I would look into peltier based cooling systems like the iceprobe or nano customs own nano cooling system. Both are peltier based and both work very efficiently. Having owned one of the iceprobes in the past i can say that peltiers can easily keep a nano tank in the low 80s if not high 70s.

I was looking at this for my biocube. Worth checking out.

I'm not sure how handy your are with tools and such but you can build one of those for yourself (with more features) for WAAAAAAAAAAY less than that. I built something very similar to that for about $30 in parts and an hour of work. I'd definitely recommend a peltier device, however, while they cool the tank they make a lot of hot air around them, which can make a hot room hotter. They are just electronic "heat pumps". Just something to think about. My peltiers (which I use to cool my tanks at home and a chemical reactor at work) can crank out a lot of heat at full power.
