Rocketman's New Dual 175g Bullnose Build Thread

they look nice and happy. Glad that sailfin pulled thru. beautiful fish.

 

Yeah they look great. The flow looks ideal too. How about one from further back so we can take in the whole tank and lights?

 

Looking awesome. I agree a lot of your heat is coming from those outdoor pipes.

I also can't fathom living in a house that gets over 80 ever. I guess I'm just spoiled

Well yes, but I think he (and me) run our A/C to those temps with or without a fish tank in the house. In that sense, it's cheaper to run the A/C - as you're running it regardless to these temps.

My house hasn't been over 74 in quite some time - even when (and especially) it's well over 100 outside.

But I do think if you insulate the pipes (and maybe add some fans to the fish room) your current chiller will have less to do and that may be enough.

Speaking of, how is the temp/humidity in your fish room? You may just need to get air flow to that room to solve this.

 

Heat is def something I'm a little worried about my self, living in a desert that gets 110+ I'm really hoping I can make it through the summer w/o a chiller I dont have a couple hundo to drop right now Those pipes look good though with a little paint to match the exterior Im sure your wifey would approve lol

 

I just have to say thanks for sharing. This has been a great read for me and inspiration to build my own piece of the ocean. Very Nice..
