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,

What did you do with the water?

Any suggestions on keeping a tank cool without a chiller??

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.

Wow! my house is way cooler now without my tank running. I knew there would be a bright side somewhere to the crash.
