Hot enough for ya???

[Sushiman]

That's right; it's that time of year again folks! The first real blast of heat that freaks us all out so much while we're at work & our tanks sit at home all toasty warm...
How's everyone doing? Any horror stories or is everyone kissing their A/C's & chillers? Share your joy, share your pain, we'll listen (if we can hear you over the sounds of boiling Acro's in the background of course).

My tank is sitting pretty at 81 degree. 24/7 with my temp control. I have an AC unit for the house, so that keeps everything nice

Simple solution for me is to simply cut back the photoperiod. Lights go on at 11 and go off at 3 before it gets too hot. Tank is at 82 . No worries from here on in..

My set temp is 80,
Mine peaked at about 82.4, But its on its way back down now.

My temp is holding at 78 / 79. Thanks to having my tanks in the cooool basement. I will reduce the time the lights are on for the next few days.

I dont know why all of the sudden my tank finds itself at 83-84 at mid-day, and 80 at night, even with the A/C on. I've always had it at 79. I think the Seios I have are garbage heat producers.

Im not having any problems due to the temp though... it rose slowly, and it doesnt fluctuate too much. I think im going to DYI a chiller though now...

Normally at 78C, today reached 81C but holding steady. Gotta let in some cool night air tonight. But even our ground floor suite is starting to heat up a bit.

I'm with Christy...kissing the chiller on the reef tank...the other tanks have to have the lids open and lighting periods lessened! ( and a small prayer that no one decides to carpet surf out the open tops! )

I haven't gone over 79.5 yet. Hard vented the tank outside and have 2 5 inch fans on fairly quick speed but could go higher yet. AC and chiller are doing what they're supposed to, I haven't changed the lighting schedule.
