My Setup:-
~123 liter (32 gal)
-Fluval canister filter + Hagen surface skimmer
-Presurise CO2
-1x18W FL (Glo-light)
-2x36 PL (Osram)(1 is off at moment to test the Temp reduction)
-Heavily planted
Due to the high temp of my tank (29-31C) i am having difficuties in kepting a optimum plant friendly environment.
I am thinking of switch the photo period from day to night so during the day all light and CO2 is off, and during night (cooler evironment) the light and CO2 is switch on. I am hoping the switching may help to reduce the temp.
Anyone practicing this, do you notice the temp different lots?
Btw, adding chiller and fan is out of question (not willing to spend $$ for owning and running chiller and hate evapouration )...
cheers.
