Yeah, I know what you mean. I used to live in Texas and to this day I still consider it my true home.

I would think with the SG changing from when frozen to defrosted in theory it could work. However, if you stuck them straight in a tank, it could make too many cold spots. If you stuck it in a fuge that way, quite a bit would kill some of the microlife a fuge helps build and maintain.
If I'm wrong on that theory or someone disagrees please explain.

My tank is close to my air vent. About 5' from it. But I used 4 120mm 12v fans that put out 105cfm of air each. My temp stays around 79-79.3 all day long, with or without the lights on.

You buy a $40 hose, and hook it up to one of your AC vents in your house, and point it into the tank

Sorry I had to spoil your secret haha

Hmmm.... I suppose in theory it is possible, however if you use a new hose I would think that you may be dealing with gas issues deriving from using a hose that basically would still have oil type of residues and odor issues from the products used to actually create the hose.
Anyone else have any thoughts on that?

I don't think their that high in residue. Otherwise they would drip oil on our floors. Maybe thats reading a little to deep in to this. :thinking:

Well since water comes out and oil issues would be hard to really tell - how could one know what manufacturing practices a hose plant would have much less test for it? :notsure:
