Be Prepared for Heat Wave Coming THIS WEEKEND/WEEK
 
Weather services predicting lots of sun & heat with temps in the low thirties, but FEELS LIKE 37 to 41C. This is in Vancouver, so the Fraser Valley will be even hotter.

Prepare yourself, but more importantly, prepare your tanks for this upcoming heatwave.

Calgary has been 32 for the last few days which I'm sure has caused some problem for some people. How are all of those fires treating you guys?

Those fires are in Kelowna, so they don't really effect us in Vancouver (about a 5 hr drive).

BC is bone dry though and no prospect of rain for a while.

Cheers,
Vic

Frozen bottle water in your sump (water still in bottle with the cap on)

I was lucky enough to set my tank up in a really cool basement so that helps out 100 fold. Running a fan over any body of water will cause a cool down of the tank. Just have to watch evap if you go this way.

You can also shorten your lighting period.
