I plan to set the mini PC light for chamber 2 on a timer to run at night when the DT lights are off. I want to get a chiller for this tank but not quite sure yet.

Hey Kevin, you should paint that stand pink or blue for her.

I think you will need a chiller for that tank.. I have an open hood and it gets hot with the 70W MH. Yours is totally close.. That's a lot of heat. I don't think fan alone would be able to keep it cool.
