Need help keeping a garage aquarium temperature regulated!

[jeebus]

I think in my next house, I'm going to take the time to see that the garage is insulated and a duct is ran so that I'll have more freedom to do things in there.

glen do u live in 1 or 2 story home?

[jeebus]

one story.

I got my fan from CVS for like 7-8 bucks.

It's the chip on type. I chip it on my stand and put it right into my sump.

Good for dropping the temp by 3 degrees.

[RUDEBOY8tropheus]

give me a call and we can talk about what i can do for your garage exspecialy if your going to add more tanks

[jeebus]

Thanks, but I'm not adding anymore tanks or spending anymore money lol. This was supposed to be a throwdown hobby tank. I don't want to break the bank on it.

[RUDEBOY8tropheus]

ok let me know if your going to get rid of the tank

[jeebus]

Okay, will do.

save the pretty fishes! from a professional standpoint my advice is to move them back inside.

Starting temp at 9am is 84. I just put one two liter bottle of frozen water in the sump.

I have a fish room built onto the garage; I have not yet needed to turn on the window AC: Insulate, insulate, insulate.
I got insulated doors when the house was built, but I have insulated other garage doors with the foil faced urethane sheathing/duct tape -cheap. Double pane windows, and added assorted insulation to the 6" batt in the attic.
I added an exhaust fan that blows into the attic, I use it for about an hour in the morning and at night .

+1 for vent-exhaust fan to attic.

Okay, got home around 3:30 and the temp was 86. Not the best, but at least manageable with my schedule.

[geoff_tropheus]

better than 90 atleast

That was done with only the frozen bottle in the sump?
