Aquarium Chillers

[MarcOwen2010]

Hey.

I'm after some educated ideas on a small problem i have.

The only place that i can keep my 75ltr fish tank is in my conservatory. . . Unfortunate i know.
The problem in a nutshell is that the conservatory acts as a kind of Green House and heats up the water far beyond acceptable levals.

Now I'm looking into Aquarium chillers . . . Temperature Controllers etc. . . has anyone any ideas on a cheap set up or a link to a Temperature controller that will kick in a fan when to high or a heater when to low ? ? ?

Thanks for any help. Marc

A fan won't cool the water down. It will only blow air of the same temperature around. Wind chill factor has no effect on the temperature of inanimate objects.

The only educated idea i could come up with is to work harder to find somewhere else to keep it / I wouldnt take the risk myself, it would only take a minor thing to go wrong on a hot day and everything will die. i.e. powercut.

The amount of light that enters a conservatory would no doubt increase any algae issues .

My only thought would be to throw a dark blanket over the tank during the sunniest part of the day.
