Aquarium Advice Addict
I came home last nigth at 6PM and my apt was sweltering. The heat that was comming off of the MH balasts was heating up my entire living room. Its only sping time here, I'm scared to think of how hot it is gonna get in the summer. My tank temp was still 81-82F which is where I keep it, but I like to keep my apt cool, below 70F. Those of you with MH Lights, how do you keep your homes cool in the summer? Do any of you use a reverse lighting schedule? I was thinking of splitting the lighting time in half. Have the lights come on for 6 hours in the morning like from 4am till 10am, and then at night from 7pm till 12am. Do you think this will work? Will it have an adverse effect on my animals? Short of keeping the AC on 24/7, or having the lights come run overnight, this is the best idea i can come up with.
