I sometimes water my plants with cold water(when you pour it in a container, it will fog up)

No, I mean the water I sometimes use to water my plants is cold enough to fog up any container. BTW that is a pokemon called Carnivine.

To those that are interested in the system that Ludvig used which is a ref to cool water and a pump to pump cold water into a nice radiator (blue colored) to cool the terrarium, he has informed me that unfortunately he lost the URL but told me it was for Computers, so I checked and found these:

http://www.xoxide.com/swiftech-h2o-120-compact.html

http://www.xoxide.com/swiftech-h2o-a...a-extreme.html

Very similar to what he used, however for computers the radiator is actually the heat exchanger, so we use this in "reverse" of what they are designed, however it does not matter at all actually.

Well,that link show water cooling for pc.It wont help much.The temperature will only go down few celsius's.I have been using water cooling for pc since 1997.I have also used tec to cool down the temperature but also down few celsius's only.So no point in using such system.Better to use a compressor with temperature regulator if your pocket is deep.:tongue:

Just a taught.If some of you kept the nep cool at night but day time normal temperature;the differences of both the temperature will be big.Wont this stress the nep due to big differences in temperature?

Hi Alienfx,

Oh.....I definitly have a thin and also thinning wallet/pocket.My way of lowering the temps now is quite inconvinient but since i only have 1 highland plant i can do that all the time every night.I'm not worried if the temp doesn't go down low enough,i'm afraid that my box might get to cold for my N ventricosa cause the bottles still partly frozen after the whole night till morning.So i open bout half so that it isn't that cold.

Ken
