My temp is holding at 78 / 79. Thanks to having my tanks in the cooool basement. I will reduce the time the lights are on for the next few days.

I dont know why all of the sudden my tank finds itself at 83-84 at mid-day, and 80 at night, even with the A/C on. I've always had it at 79. I think the Seios I have are garbage heat producers.

Im not having any problems due to the temp though... it rose slowly, and it doesnt fluctuate too much. I think im going to DYI a chiller though now...

Normally at 78C, today reached 81C but holding steady. Gotta let in some cool night air tonight. But even our ground floor suite is starting to heat up a bit.

I'm with Christy...kissing the chiller on the reef tank...the other tanks have to have the lids open and lighting periods lessened! ( and a small prayer that no one decides to carpet surf out the open tops! )

I haven't gone over 79.5 yet. Hard vented the tank outside and have 2 5 inch fans on fairly quick speed but could go higher yet. AC and chiller are doing what they're supposed to, I haven't changed the lighting schedule.

I have been simulating a nasty massive storm the past few days. Turned up my Tunxe wavemaker and turned of my halides. Just actinics for 2 days and 8 hours a day.

even with lights out I think I peaked at 84. then back to 80 in the morning. I have a large fan over sump!!

Ya, the chiller is pumping away, tank stays at 79 all day. Which is good, because my condo probably hits 90 by the end of the day! I need a condo chiller for us!
