Hot enough for ya???

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!

Glad to report our AC is keeping everyone cool

We put our indoor thermometer/humidity reader out on our balcony on hot days. Yesterday, it hit 41 C in the mid-day sun. Was up at 4 a.m. this morning and it was 20 C out there. By 7:30 a.m. it had already climbed to 22 C in the shade. High expected to be 33 C here today, but on our balcony it's always at least a degree higher. Heat wave forecast goes into next week, but sure hope it cools down some before then. Can't stand AC on at night with no fresh air

Bev, thanks for using Celsius. That's the only unit that I understand.

Holding steady at 81* as I have a good fan cooling down the sump, I don't like the 2gl a day top off thing tho

With no one home, AC on, fan on sump, top proped open, My tank still hit 84.9.

Since I am going on vacation for 9 days, i can't risk it. Finally broke down and bought a chiller. It will get to run for a week before I leave so hopefully i can iron out any potential problems, appears to be working good so far though.
