my comment re: Zeo was in response to Skimmin's suggestion.

I'm not using Zeo or other and unsure if it would make a difference anyways and your experience seems to imply such.

That's why they call it RTN (RAPID Tissue Necrosis)

this is an every summer occurance, heat waves come and people report loss. the best way to prevent summer RTN is to buy a chiller. I used to swing feom 78 to 85 all the time with no problems but when I started getting up to 88/89 then I would have problems, and at 104 you lose your whole tank

My chiller kept the temp swing to 2 degrees all year and no more problems

Have the tank on a controller connected to a heater and evap fan. Sample the temp every 5 sec, average for a minute then log the max/min (and average) for the hour.

over a 78 day period going from the lowest low, to highest high the difference was only 2.6°C, with the standard deviation hour to hour of 0.3°

Not thinking the temperature.
