tank placement

uglyryder · 12/01/2008, 06:05 PM

heres my problem, im working on a 90 gallon reef, the wall i want to put the tank on also is where my thermostat is. I know this is not going to work due to heat from the lights. is there any way to do this, like a wireless thermostat that i could place somewhere else that may have some kind of sensor to hook up where the old thermostat is?

You can do one of two things.One is a wireless t-stat,You just take that one off the wall and put the wireless anywhere you want within i believe 500 ft from the furnace.Only problem is the module needs to be mounted at the furnace and wired in.Or you could pull the existing wire down to your basement if you have one and reroute it to a different location.Hope that helps.

thank you, ill look into the wireless first and see if i can figure out or find someone that knows how to wire it all up. if not its to the basement i guess.
