okokok ... i kick this off .... hmmm .... my slightly smaller than two feet has 2 x 80mm fan blowing at it. fan2 conked out a week ago, yet to replace it. temperature hovering just under 30 most of the time.

30 - 32 is mine.. kinda high actually still waiting for end of the month then do some DIY fans :D

[Philtre]

route ... I thought you had a 6 fan setup???? then it was about like low twenties?

[route]

the fans are with morpheus now... :rolleyes:
anyway the clip is spoilt so i can't clip it to the side of the tank..
the other time is 1ft so just put on top of the tank...

[damnit]

recently weather quite cooling so can achieve 26-28 ... the past heat wave however caused the temp to soar to 28-30

[dannychng]

My 4ft hover around 26-27, once when it was raining it went down to 25.7.
My 3ft around 28.5 and my 2ft around 28.

Fan 2x80mm for the 2ft and 3ft and 4x80mm for the 4ft. The 2ft and 3ft is in my room when on air-con temp goes down to about 25.

2x80mm normal fans for 2ft and 2x80mm highpower fans for 3ft :)

philtre thot u supposed to do up more fans? ... wah lew better do up one before u set up ur new tank ah ... i complain on behalf of your cories!!! :p

Guys, suggest when you log in the temperature, tell us if got fans (how many) or not, or aircon room, etc. ;)

Me, have not switched off the fans on my cory tanks since the last heatwave. No eyes to keep track of electrical (& water) bills anymore. :rolleyes:

4ft - 2 fans (used to be 4, but switched recently) - abt 28deg
3ft - 2 fans - abt 27/28deg
2ft - 2 fans - abt 25/27deg
2ft - 1 fan only comes on with lights - 27/28deg

If without fans, I'd estimate low of 28 and high of 30, unless heatwaves come back... :(

[damnit]

actually 2 fans for up to 4ft will be more than sufficient ... adding more only increase evaporation and will not lower temp much ... to lower even more, only a chiller will help

[Callichthyidae]

Er... my 4ft went down to 26deg with 4fans, now with 2fans I've seen only 28deg... :)

[damnit]

Wah good for you loh fav ... usually more fans will not help much ... except super increased evaporation!! :)

[dannychng]

Same as for me, when I have add on another 2 fan the temp goes down by 1.5.
