I just phoned home and got my 9 year old to check the temp. She says it's at 83.3 Farenheit. Farenheit I ask? Yes daddy, that's what people use instead of celsius, she says

I guess the fan being on helped. I also raised the lights about 4 inches higher.

Man, you gotta buy a fan, quick!! I'd do a water change also because of the death. And while it sounds funny at first, use warmer water fr the change...don't want to shock things with coooler water. Get a fan right away!!

same thing happened to my tank last night. 85F at 5PM. I put a large fan in front of the sump and in the morning it was a cool 78F. the fan has been on all day MH on as well and we are sitting at 80.1F right now. I think I'll rig a fan to blow directly on the sump surface.

Good luck everyone today and Saturday are gona be hot

I only know celsius myself. Your daughter must be watching too much American TV. Its always Celcius whenever we watch the Vancouver weather man. It is suppose to be 33C today according to the weather person. So, at what celcius will my corals start dying?

I am so glad I live in a basements suite. Nice and cool for the most part.

Oh, it was 30C in my tank yesterday night around 8pm. 30C was the upper limit on my thermometer. I guess I need to get a new thermometer.
