LIGHTS AND HEAT

[porkypuffer]

FOOD FOR THOUGHT. I BOUGHT A NEW COVER FOR MY TANK. THE OLD COVER HAD ONE FLORESENT BULB ABOUT 1" OFF THE SURFACE OF THE WATER. I KEEP MY HOUSE AT 78 DEGREES AND THE TANK WATER WOULD STAY AT 82 DEGREES. THE NEW COVER HAS TWO FLORESENT BULBS BUT THEY ARE ABOUT 4" FROM THE SURFACE OF THE WATER. THE TANK NOW STAYS AT 80 DEGREES. NOT TO MENTION MUCH BRIGHTER. THOUGHT THIS INFO COULD HELP THOSE WITH HEAT PROBLEMS.

Does your new hood have a cooling fan? I got a 2 inch fan at radio shack and dropped my tank temp six deg. in about three hours last week. It was easy to install, and runs silent. STEVE
