Right now, M'sia been hit by heat wave, n accordingly to yesterday newspaper this will end only in Sept. :
My room temp for the past 1 week been around 92-94F(day), 89-91F (nite).
Despict with recently installed 3 x 3" fans blowing my tank, the tank temp still around 82-84F.
The fish is ok but the heat start to affecting on my plants.
Been asking around lfs but it seems the tank chiller is way too expensive for me to buy n run.
I want to try the Ice Probe Micro Chiller or attach a heatsink with fan behind the tank but i just wonder will it works as the room temp is so much different.
My understanding is the room heat will try to equilibrium with tank's water so the Micro Chiller might increase my tank temp. Totally forgot the thermodynamic stuff i learned in college. hehehe
Pls advise
TIA
