Now that the "hot" weather is gone and my apt temp is down to 68-70F, I'm finding my nano temp is dropping too much during the day. During the night when the halide and fans are off, the temp is 78-80F (where I want it). During the day with halide and fans on it drops to 74F. I have 2 - 6" fans blowing across the water, and the halide bulb in the pendant is 8" above water surface. Both fans have been on "low", and I turned one fan off today but the temp still dropped to 76F. My heater is a Rena Cal 150W (supposedly for 30-45 gal). I don't dare run without the fans, so what's the proper solution??? Do I buy a higher wattage heater, or different brand? Or, do I lower the halide pendant more? Or, something else?
P.S. I'm not running the Iceprobe Chiller listed in my sig at the moment, so that isn't an issue.
What's your opinions??? Thanks!!
