Anybody who is using those Wal Mart fans be careful they don't come apart and fall in your tank/sump, like mine did.

Has this been chronicled on these forums? Sounds like a thread worthy of reading. (adding your experience to the mile-long list of reasons not to shop at :EVIL: Wal Mart)

Don't blame Walmart. I have 2 of these exact same fans. One from HD & one from Superstore.

I switched to a reverse photoperiod a couple nights ago so my MH are NOT on during the heat of day. Along with a 12,000 btu portable AC unit, its been very nice temperature wise in my groundfloor suite. It's usually 5-10 degrees (F) cooler down here than the upstairs suite, which is why I'm never moving up

How about the fact that you have eleventy billion gallons of water in your ground floor unit

Move that upstairs and the people downstairs will have a nice saltwater shower someday

Cheers,
