BC 29 cooling ideas needed!
Hey guys, I'm looking for any good ideas to keep my Biocube cooler. I pulled out the stock PC lights and replaced them with LED's hoping that would work, but it hardly has. I'm still running around 85* both morning and night. I know the obvious answers are "throw the lids open and sit a fan on the top pointed down". I'm not looking for those answers. I'm looking for the reefers that have figured out a clean looking, aesthetically pleasing, and quiet way to decrease temperature on these AIO units. I would replace the stock fans, but they don't even move air across the water, they only move air inside the sealed lighting compartment that protects the bulbs. So please lend me your ingenuity when you get a chance

I tore mine down because of this. Short of a chiller the only thing I found that worked was leaving both doors open. I wish you luck with it. I now just use mine as a quarantine tank.

Yes, horrible design for a reef tank. Bad gas exchange and trapped heat. I ended up turning mine into a rimless cube with sump and that did the trick. Sorry can't be of more help.
