    Just out of curiosity, how often are you having to change your *chillers*? I'd think 80F water flowing around that would melt them down pretty quickly...

    Amazing what the simplest ideas can accomplish with some determination.
    Every electronic device is manufactured with smoke stored deep inside... only a true genius can find a way to set it free.

    I have 2

    and they take about 30 mins to fully melt, but since they drop the water 2 to 3 degrees it takes another 4 to 5 hours max for the water to come back up, and when i put them in the lights are only going to be on another 2 to 3 hours so its usually ok.

    my light schedule is 1 to 9, i get home at 5 , throw the chillers in (only if i have to mind you), then take em out whenever i get around to it.
    55 Gallon. One year old, and looking SUPER.
