EDIT: Additionally, water insulates well against outside air temp but not direct sun. eg. my garage was 30 degrees yesterday but the tanks were still at 26 degrees with not much surface agitation. No air con or chilling was on either. But, as soon as the sun hit the garage wall the tanks were on, they started to heat up. Then air con got involved.

Not sure I'd call that necessarily indicative of being true for all tanks. One tank in my lounge room made it to room temperature of 29.5C yesterday. It's away from direct light, and usual temp is 25c. The room has no air con, and I've found since starting that system that it fairly quickly moves to room temperature. In a near by room, the temps were at normal op temp for that system of 26.5. My primary system was however running the chiller for about an hour... and I reckon my whole house would fit in your driveway :P

Think of 40c from a heat pack inside a foam box with minimal water..... which was my point.......
Not really ideal for a frag :p

ah alright, house rooms can be very different based on where they sit, amount of windows. I find my tanks can cope with a certain amount of heat then quickly begin to rise after a certain point.
p.s that's a small house!

I think these would be great for when you go to a meet or friends place and steal a frag or two. Handy to have in the glovebox :P

Bloody new housing estates. Sardine cans, but bloody efficient in winter.. which is kinda a big deal here!

I've found my data logger. btw... gonna stick a foam box outside next week with some bags of water in it and see what happens :P

Just read about it's thermal resistance which is fantastic! Are we just buying them through you @K&J Aquatics ?
If anyone else in the SE suburbs wants to grab any with me, I'll be grabbing a couple for sure.

 

[Synodontis]

Just give us a yell or PM @holly :)

 

[rockerpeller]

Count me in. I'll grab a couple on payday

 

[Fragalicious]

I wouldn't mind picking one up for perform some of my own tests on!

You got those in your hot little hands now, @Synodontis ? Any chance I could come across today and grab one?

Could be a good option for our customers if we can find a way to fit multiple tiles in it :)

 

[chimaera]

naqua will be selling these too, on the site soon. So Victorians can also pick up from SE Melb.

:D

 

[Synodontis]

Ready for pick up now @Fragalicious
Depending on the corals, you can fit up to four plugs in a FragCell. :)

I have removed the thermal reference from the listing as this was related more to the properties of the material, not the actual FragCell.
