Question: Preventing Condensation (chilled tank)

[Wolfpretzel]

Hi one and all,

This would be my first post on the forum, but I have been using all of your combined Axie-expertise to answer all my questions & solve all my problems. Being an Aussie owner of Axolotls, I have invested in a chiller system for my axies to be all happy and healthy. All is well for them now, but condensation is a problem that I'm working to solve now.

Because of the differing temperatures (and the humidity in the air in Sydney lately) my tank is condensating almost everywhere - the glass and the tubes that are pumping the water to and from the chiller. I'm constantly having to wipe the glass and tubes with a chamois. I am also (right now) testing having a small fan drawing air away from the tank. We'll see how that goes.

Any other suggestions on preventing this?

Hi Wolfpretzel,

This thread may help, another Australian member was having similar problems with condensation issues.

After you conquer the condensation and can see what you are photographing , we're looking forward to seeing pictures of your axies and setup (we love pictures here).

Welcome to the forum!

Awesome. Thanks for the input. I figured that the A/C would dehumidify the air so that was a no-brainer, and the fan seems to help a bit. All in all, my axies are getting the royal treatment and are very happy. So all is well. I will post some pics soon - I already have probably a few hundred on the PC and more still on the camera. :-D
