Heat Control

Air Temprature in the Shed has been rising slowly as the days have been getting  Warmer.

At Midday the temps were starting to get quiet high.

So I have 1 of these Habistat Cool Control devices that turn on when a certain temp is reached.

I also have these Fans that are setup to blow over the surface of the Tanks to take advantage of Evaporative Cooling.

I took the Grid off the Front of the Fans as the tend to rust quiet quickly in a Salty humid Environment.

Most of the Fan is made from plastic so there are no real issues there.

Time will tell if this will work when Summer really start, i will update the Blog on how it works out.

The Snow Shed

The weather has been bad here over the last week or so and temperatures have been very low.

So far the The Reef Shed has been doing pretty well, the Xtratherm  insulation has been doing the Job.  The temp outside varied between +4 degrees Celsius to -10 degrees Celsius so that is quiet cold for these parts. It has not been this “wintery” since the early 1980′s. The inside of The Reef Shed stayed a nice +20 degrees Celsius to 24 degrees Celsius.

Who would have imagined, growing Corals in the Snow!

PS: Look at the neighbours shed, that is not a shed!!!
