I lost my Tailspot yesterday.Not sure why. Never even found his little body. The little guys are always like that.
Bummer... sorry about that.

Ha! Seriously, you had him for a while, right? From the beginning? Sorry to hear.

Sorry to hear about the fish loss. For ventilation I use this in my canopy, 110v wire into my T5 timers . I think they are like $15 ... you could also cut an exhaust hole and cover it with this . Might be an option for your sump area.

This would probably be the easiest thing for you to use - https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/icecap-smart-fan.html I used these on my old tank. They are pretty durable and the speed of the fan is controlled by a thermistor (resistor). The warmer it gets, the faster the fan speed. It comes with the power supply, so not a bad price at $34.95 for a 4" fan. You can plug the power supply into an appliance timer to turn them on and off for use during the warmest part of the day.

Lol yeah trying doing it with 240 plus 75 gallon sump which has 60 roughly. If my tank breaks it will flood my house, like when the titanic went down.
@Musovski lol I am trying to get my thread there lol. Being gone for two weeks or well quiet sure didn’t help. But I have always adored this one I also want it to keep going

You could always get fancy shmancy and go with something like this;

Good idea! I was thinking spitballs but then realized that the water would stop the balls from hitting them..... I guess shock collars it is!

That's it they have a remote @Katrina71 you got to get those. Plus just the cool factor of the colors. Its like having lava lamps in the sump
