So my 7g qt tank has been getting too hot, the room it's in is small and we have had some ac issues and are waiting on a replacement core....and it's can get warm in there.
I keep it covered most of the time so there isn't too much humidity in the room but also put a fan and leave it open on hot days for evap cooling
I was thinking about using some 1/8th tubing and either coiling it in the tank and having rodi from my 50g holding drum run thru the line....this would put the pumps heat in the 50g vs 7g
or running a pump with water from the qt into the Rodi as the holding tank is usually a bit cooler....but then I figured the pump heat would make this a bad choice
Or
I have a mini fridge up there and was thinking about drilling a hole and running a closed loop in there with a small 1 gal container with a pump etc
Thinking this could be a good emergency cooking solution I could set up on a controller. ....aka if temp hits 83....pump turns on and water flows from fridge or thru fridge etc.
Trying to figure out a cheap emergency cooling back up so I don't loose any more corals.
Any thoughts?
