 To chill or not to chill.... a nano!
I've been toying with the idea of starting a second mini reef tank in the form of a 12 gallon nanocube. First off, I'm contemplating either Current's 12g Aquapod with PCs or 12g Aquapod with 70w HQI. Was wondering if anyone had any experience (good or bad) with either of these, and if anyone thinks that any of the other nano tanks out there (Oceanic Biocube, JBJ Nanocube, Aquamedic Nanowave, etc) would be better, and why.
Also, is it a common practice that a chiller is needed for these tanks since it's such a small water volume? If a house has central air conditioning, a room air conditioner, ceiling fan, etc. will that suffice to keep the temp where it's supposed to be? I'm trying to lean more towards the HQI tank, but if thats going to run to hot then I can do PCs (and save money). I live on Long Island in NY and, as I'm sure is the norm with most of the US, temps and humidity can SUCK here in the summer. I would really like to try to do this without a chiller if I can. Thanks for the input. |
