hey!

i got a juwel rekord 160 and i'm making a 2 vents to get my temp down (22°)
I'm using 2 computer ventilators (one thats going to blow in my aquarium and one that sucks the hot air out) I saw this idea on this great forum.
does anyone got expierince with this tech?

also i read that axies are stresst when their gills are pointing forward but half of the time my sweet axie her gills are turned forward.. does this mean she is stressed? goes i already made a pipe to get the waterflow down..

THANX!!

here are some pics of my ventilators (sorry for the bad quality of the photos)

I got a Juwel 160 and there are 2 boards i can remove on my top. I copied them out of a old computer so I could fit the vents in them.
One is blowing air in the aquarium and an other is blowing air out of the aquarium.
it works but makes a bit to mutch noice for my room.. so I think I gonna put my aquarium in a cooler place..

Cool - looks like you've done a good job. I am going to attempt to make a cooling system with two computer fans as well. Slightly worried about the noise and energy consumption, but I figure that I won't need it switched on over night when it is a lot cooler generally.

Will post some photo's of my attempts sometime soon :happy: Thanks for posting your photo's to!
