Thanks Bro Gouldian :)

Now facing problem with water temperature as the LumenAqua Mini 45 LED light runs very hot and and sump cabinet is not well ventilated :(

Without refugium light on the water temperature is 29.5 degree C, after running the light 24/7 temperature increased to 31.5 degree C.

Tried blowing a cooling fan at the refugium light and water surface but only reduced by 0.5 degree C...

Trying not to have chiller in order to cut down electricity bill...

Anyone knows of suitable LED lighting for refugium which doesn't run too hot? Thanks!

<br /><br />Since you are running a fish only tank why not use bio pallet or carbon dosing to control the nutrient? There will also be chances of the need.to fish medicine in a fish only tank which will also cause all the chaeto to die. Just a suggestion. .<br /><br />Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
