i juz change my return pump. my water temp shot up reaching 30 degrees in this cold weather !@#$% :angry: . i am planning to put a fan to cool down the tank alittle. i was planning to place it in the sump but it is efficient compared to placing it in the main tank ?

it shd be e same unless ur light is giving too much heat n heat up the temp of e water in ur main tank....i used to place y fan at e main tank, i shifted to sump cos a bit noisy but found out temp a bit high compared to old location...thus i switch back again..now is better....

bro chercm no money lar poor student here :lol:

both my sump and main tank are 3 by 1.5 by 1.5. i am using NO T5 for the main and 2 ft PL 55watts for the sump.... evaporation doesnt really matter i can top up everyday as long as the evaporation dont cause any salt precipitation, my tank is in my room, dont want my stuff to get all salty. i am planning to get those with 4 fan attached together. but how may degrees would it be able to bring down ?

btw its the return pump that is producing the heat. before i change the temp of my tank was between 26 - 28 during this time of the year

suggest u dn't get those 4-1 fans..not very lasting.. i'm used before n i dn't really recommend them if u ask...i'musing those singular fan..."sunon" brand.. cost abt $20plus... easier to maintain ths can last longer...
