i've got a fairly complex controller setup. when I check on the tank and it's 80 or higher I automatically grab a frozen water bottle from the freezer and toss it in the sump. I shut the freezer door automatically as well and place the old water bottle back into the freezer. yesterday was the first time the system had been triggered and there was an audible alert issued as well. It's currently configured with language filter set to "adult".

Central AC is currently keeping my tank topped out at 82 during the day. This is typical for my tank during the summer months. 83 is when I start to get concerned. 84 is when PANIC MODE sets in..

i've now got a fan over my sump holding things at 79 but I'm sure I'll need to drop more ice in today.

I hit 90 on my cube this weekend so it was time to do the transfer to my drop tank with LED's that is running at 80.

Before I switched to LEDs I used to fill up an icecream pail with my tank water, freeze it and than once froze just put the big cube in to my sump. Worked great!

well my fan couldn't fight it back down to 78 from 79 which sucks. in goes a bottle of ice. i really wanted to have a solution that works when i'm not home! maybe it can hold 80 until tonight when it starts cooling off but i'm not going to bother finding out if i can help it.
