I run a small 12 inch fan blowing over the top of the tank in summer, even on days into 100+ i can keep my tanks 78. The air from the gyre waves is enough to cool it with a fan. For my lids I have a red sea/ D%D solutions home made one, and a clearview custom nice one. The clearview was a waste of money.
2/2. One other piece of advice ill give is try to stop chasing numbers and let your fish tell you how they feel if your fish look happy and active and your water is clear no need to be testing the water and doing water changes every week , I only do water changes once a month and its only 5 gallons of water that i will remove and replace , And ever 3 to 5 days ill do a water top off thats it. My fish are perfectly happy
Why not upgrade to a 75 or bigger? Since you already have a 30 plus gallon tank a 40 breeder wouldn't be much of an upgrade, I currently have a 40 gallon breeder and i wanna upgrade to something bigger then a 75 like a 120 , 75 would be the minimum problem is most of the fish i have and want will out grow a 75 like blue hippo tang for example purple or yellow tang may also outgrow a 75
I like my Nanos personally I've thought about a 75 or 90 but that means more water during water changes I like my little 2 gallon water changes a week maybe when it's time to upgrade I'll change my mind (I tend to change jt daily haha)
@@207NanoReefing I worry about that too to be hornet. I’ve had a wrasse and a clown jump in the last year. They’re expensive and I like the look better without
I Don’t use a lid. Hate having to clean all the salt creep on the lids. Lucky my tank is Euro braced. Plus , I want my tank to evaporate more water so I can get more Kalk into the tank through the ATO. Great vids!
