At least with a chiller you would never have to worry about temp being off!!

I have no idea how to post my vid from youtube. Hopefully this is it...

edit: it works but doesn't show the vid like some of y'all's do. Oh well... Pay no attention to the heavy breathing. The guy who took the vid was very excited LOL

Tank looks amazing. The vid is pretty neat too. The motion of the vid feels weird (but cool) and I cant figure out how to describe it.

I am trying to think of a solution that won't cost a ton of money lol

[Totenkampf]

That would increase head height and decrease flow... It is a good Idea but he would lose to much flow....

good point, powerheads dont have much head pressure. you would have to run them up to fountain pumps or something...too bad theres not a canopy to hide them in. texas screws up everything lol. i was gonna put some grow out tanks in the garage until i put a thermometer in there. i doubt many plants would flourish in the low 90s. maybe i can disguise the tanks as gifts for my girl, i just have to tell her not to touch them. and then they would have to be pretty. sigh.

or call up sunkendrilla and go with canisters...thats starting all over though. what if you made longer intake strainers and output spraybars for the powerheads so that the motor was above the surface of the water? you would have to shift your river manifold so that the powerheads were close to the glass and not sticking up in the middle of the tank.

So are a mp's

every chiller I looked at cost more than a mp40

[sunkenmetal]

I think get the vortech mp40 and remove two power heads and maybe a fan for the top of the tank...

chillers are pretty spendy

[jeb102385]

Would be cheaper to buy a chiller

[armthehomeless]

Ecotech MP10/40... they are expensive though.

Adding 5 powerheads inside my tank has raised the tank temp from 74 to 84F; unacceptable for the fish I'm gonna buy. I have to rethink this before I buy the gobies and hillstreams. What's the brand of pump called that's magnetically coupled through the glass? The motor sits outside and the impeller is inside.
