And now, the photos of the current tank
Temp as of now is 27 Deg. Removed fan for photo taking.

Closer.. hehe mamas all having dinner
Sorry for the photos. Taken from LG optimus 3D
My bed fan is a S.BREEZE power Fan
Power consumption @ 90 Watts. Speed 1 equivalent to KDK brand fan speed 3
A monster at that amount of watts consumption, the wind is downright strong and the noise generated is.. you get the point haha Managed to wind the tank and the surrounding area no problem.

Am curious if the placement of the thermometer in various location in the tank give you different reading for 3 ft and above? having this thought so just asking though i've not experience with my tank.

1 string of Hornwort? lol. Noticed you added another light. Actually if you want it stronger, just replace it with a 14W (75) will do. No need to add light, look crampy.

It's pretty normal to me. Different part of the tank have different exposure to temperature. Some area cools off whilst other heat up. So different reading is normal. Water flow area should be cooler than lighting area. 3ft also have the capacity to accommodate various water parameter imbalance as compared to 2ft. 2ft a bit out, the whole balance gets thrown off quickly and easily.
Diazman, how about an air-drive filter to push temperature further down?
Shrimp keepers may wish to try out a method of lowering the tank temperature, which consists of hanging a piece of towelling cloth material on and in contack with the back of the tank. This cloth must be kept constantly wet by letting the bottom part of the cloth touch the tap water in a container placed below the cloth. A tiny fan, just enough to move air around the hung wet cloth, can be used to increase koolness. But even without the fan, there is good cooling too. This method is much better than just blowing wind at the tank top. But if both methods are used simultaneously, cooling is significantly increased.

yup, just exactly what you saw in the picture. the 2nd spare was also fitted with the reflector but when the lights hit the wall wah thanks for the offer bro. What's important now is that i need to replace the filter. Just died just now. Did you purchase the same GEX slim to replace?
Advice from boss Felix
Ouch, thats out of my budget league
Advice from boss Felix
GEX impaler design no good, doesn't seem to be just filter alone. You getting the eheim one?
I think motor outside should not affect temperature in tank. When my filter spoilt, I switch on air pump to drive water flow, at least until I get my replacement. End of the day, I am a casual fish keeper who do not mind algae and snails. Just reminder if I overdose or overfeed.
I don't mind the algae since my shrimp takes care of them. However, i cant seem to grow them in the tank, instead they grow on the output where the water flows out from the Hang on filter.
Temperature for the tank have been on the good side till now. Hopefully will stay at that for abit longer
Advice from boss Felix
Air-drive can be undergravel, sponge, HMF filters. Those external breeding boxes from Sudo can be used too, it'll be hang on the back like any other HOF, with the difference bring water is 'pushed' up into the filter box by an air tube as compared to a motor.
That's a good buy. The plastic is solid and long-lasting. The transparent type is somewhat more fragile and brittle. I still have three of those not used yet, one is already broken even before I used it. In future, I will buy those with opaque plastic like the one you bought, but it it'll definitely have to be the bigger model (the 200). I am hooked on hang-on filters, lol.
