I can't believe you guys have so many heat issues. You guys don't have central air conditioning maybe? If it's that bad...just keep the halides off for a day or two. Cloudy days happen on the reefs all the time!

I just aim a fan at my tank & it only warms up about 2 degrees to 80f, (on the main floor)& we don't have AC. But the house temp gets up to about 25-26, so it's a little hot for sleeping, but we have a ceiling fan for that.

love my central AC. People get hot too, not just fish!

I have a portable 12000 BTU AC so I'm fine & my tanks are usually fine in the heat. Just thought I'd remind people since every summer we read lots of horror stories online about people losing livestock due to heat issues. September is late for a heat wave & might catch reefers unaware or not expecting such a late heat wave.

I have A/C as well but the living room where my tanks are was an addition & the builder put in floor heat so there is no duct work for the A/C, stupid builder

I did add I a couple vents at the doorway pointed into the room but still need to add a booster fan to drive more air into the room. The other down fall to my 8'er is there are to many submersible pumps in the sump, 4 internal 3 external. New tank will be run off one & only one pump.
