Well, some will tell you it's definately not enough. for me, i believe it's sufficient. read the label, it will tell you more.
A 1/6 hp for a 4 ft should not be a problem. some LFS i know using a 1/4 hp for their 6ft tk! |

well, i am using resun cl280 for my 4 ft.
my temp is between 25.9 - 26.1 I have 4 powerheads consuming 90watts in total and 6 PL consuming 216watts in total. I found resun 650 very noisy and very hot. lucky i did not buy, as i met 1 guy who bought it and 2 days i wants to move it outside his house. He says "tank cold, man hot" |

it usually takes couple of hours for it to bring down to desire temp
pls provide info of equipment in use (powerheads / lights), surrounding temp, near heat sources, set temp |

miracleman,
Ich is caused directly by all forms of stress, and not by cold temp. on its own. Of cos, if the temp. drops to 15C, all bets are off Quote:
