I've never had a problem running in the mid 70s.I have an ebb and flow set up and with summer comes the heat and my res temps go from 64 when lights come on and end at 72. Is that much change going to hurt me? There is lots of airation thru the day I'm just concerned with thentemp change.
I live in that 100 degree summer temp also-----must be a glutton for punishment running water culture . I agree with with ricky about what is optimum-----trade off as to cost and labor for part of the year.Mine are running 56 when lights come on. When they go out they are now 67 when they were reaching 72+. I'm cooling 2800 watts with a 1hp chiller and also I think finally got it under control. Thanks all.chill 3 rezs.. and I set chiller at 54 as of now to deal with near 100 degree temps outside
If the outside temps are 100 you should probably have an AC anyway. Normally means when you are running your system correctly. If your room temps are so high that your res temps become dangerously high, you need to correct your room temp.Normally is what exactly? With outside temps reaching over 100 degrees the res would reach in the 80s. Try to keep under 68 I was meaning the 10 degree flucuate. Excuse spelling. Will that not be optimal
