Tank temp

[rayn]

If your talkin about the temperature of your tank, i have about 500° of bulbs about 5 pumps 2 heaters no chiller my room set to 68° and my tanks temp swing is from 77.9 to 78.2, and thats only because i set my apex that way, otherwise it would be less. With all your equipment on, you could set your heater/chiller to turn on and off at whatever temp you want

@Sabellafella I took this quote from another thread, but my question is how? My tank is running dual 250 watt mh, 1 external pump and fluctuated 5 degrees! I finally added a fan and am able to keep the temps in a 2 degree swing.

Oh man! I always have to keep my room 68° wether its ac or heat in order for me to basically do this lolol. If my room temp reachers around 73 74, itll raise up 1°. If i keep it at 67-68 my apex will only turn my heaters on in the morning and at night

I stuck a thermometer in my fish room about a hour ago. It is 70 in there.

I changed my on temp for the heater through apex and off temp as well. The lights seem to heat it up the most though.

Im not really sure how to explain this but in the summers, i keep my ac on, but the room is constantly getting hotter. So in the summer while my room is set to 68, the heaters will kick off during the whole photo period because of the heat generated from the lights
Now in the winter, i have my heat on to keep it at 68 witch means the rooms constantly getting colder. So my heaters stay on all day and night with virtually no swing at all, i set it for +/- .4° just to have a little swing just to have some play.
