720 gallon Miami Build

[Justin D]

Thy would be great I'm hoping the AC vent blowing directly into the canopy will be sufficient. If not I'll definitely be in touch for the chiller. Know of any dependable titanium heater for a system my size?

I never ran a heater im in FL near ft myers the guy that makes the chillers sells 1/2 hp and 1 hp he is in Hollywood Florida

Are you running any ground probes I got one in my Sump and then one in my aquarium

Nice. My concern for the heater is due to having the AC vent blow directly into my aquarium

With the AC vent you're probably only going to cool the top surface of the aquarium only with my 350 gallon i evaporate 2 gallons of water per day I don't think it's going to be concern unless you run your air at 65 degrees

No closer to 69-70 do you think I may be able to avoid the chiller this way?

Maybe but running your AC that low will cost a lot more money then a chiller the ideal temperature for air conditioner is 78 degrees every degree lower than 78 is 8% more on your electric bill

At 74 my entire family starts complaining about how hot it is. At 78 I'd be lynched. lol

I agree locito, I keep my temp at 70 in my house. I've never had to use a chiller on my 300g dd. I do have to run a heater though. I went with 1000 watt Jbj with controller. It's been great and it's built well.

How's the flow? I bet it's plenty?

Hammerhead 6000
2 Vectra L1 6200
MP 60 7500 I believe
Gyre 150 3000 I believe
Still have 3 Wav pumps at 4000 each. This of course is not taking into account head pressure of which I have minimal. Could always add more WAv in future.

None. Would that be something you would do with the Apex? Forgive my ignorance but what would the ground do exactly? Keep everything from frying?

Someone much smarter than I wrote a fairly lengthy post on them. Well.. maybe it was someone just as smart as me. Or maybe it was me. It led to a very lively discussion.
