Hey there! I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with upgrading their biocube fans? I am concerned with the fact that I live in Florida and Summer is rapidly approaching...and I'm afraid of my tank over heating. I keep my house pretty cool during the winter (around 70-72 degrees), but it's going to be pretty costly to keep it at that during the summer. Right now the tank is running a steady 78 degrees. I am trying to decide whether I should sink my money into upgrading to LED's or the possibility of upgrading the fan (not sure if this is possible). I've already replaced the stock pump with a Maxi Jet 1200 and added the Biocube UV sterilizer. Working on purchasing the media rack from InTank and a Tunze 9002. Right now I am only purchasing lps, and not so concerned with purchasing any sps any time soon.
I've read that some of you open the back compartment or the front lid to help cool off the tank, but I would really like to do something a little more aesthetically pleasing than that.
Anyways, here's a little info on my tank inhabitants:
1 Coral Beauty
1 Firefish Goby
1 6 Line Wrasse
2 Ocellaris Clownfish
1 Fire Shrimp
1 Skunk Shrimp
1 Fighting Conch
1 Sand-Sifting Starfish
1 Tiger Tail Sea Cucumber
and a couple misc snails and hermits
Here's a link to a video of the tank...wish it was better quality!
Thanks!
