What temp has your tank gone up to this summer?

my tanks n sit at about 82 normally with the ac on but with it off my tanks shoot to about 85

 

[afelder]

I run it from 79-81 normally and it hasn't changed at all.

,,

saw it today at 84..should i put my chiller back?

 

[pookstreet]

The highest I've seen it was at 81. My entire system sits in the garage. That's with only 2 8" fans blowing across the tank and sump and another one exhausting out of the garage. It was up to 105 outside today and the garage went up to about 92.

 

[Puffalicious]

80.9.... room temp is controlled by AC and does not go above 79

 

[EyeReef]

my tank has been steady at 85 the past few days even with the fan and chiller running! Lucky for me I only have fish and anenomes in there right now

Today I got home from being gone for 2 days and the tank was at 88.9.

Fish were ok, and my zoas didnt seem to mind, but all my corals were closed up and looked awful, I had a bunch of frozen waterbottle and threw wm in my sump and slowly dropped it to 83, hopefully I dont lose anything.

Damnn Albert I hope everything is ok bro.

 

[cthetoy]

Yeah. Im scared to go home as well. So far my tank temp never went up to 84 as per my Aquacontroller via the web. Webcam shows everything is ok. Not sure how my new fishes are doing in the quarantine tank though.

Mine has hit 84 when there is no AC on and peak heat hours, I normally just turn on my portable ac directed at the sump, ussually drops it back down pretty quick.

I have mine set to about 79.2 - 80.5 - My one tank has a chiller but my nanos dont - if I just open the hoods slightly they drop from 82-83 to 79-80 and I am out in the valley - its blazin hot out here. Plus I am running my AC at 79. But I still need to open there hood other wise there soar back up to 82-83 range.

my living room got to 98.4 but luckilly with my ACjr and my chiller the tank never got higher thatn 80.9.

 

[newnanoboy]

my tank is set at 77-79... never runs above or below that, thanks to my current 1/10 chiller!

 

[StanD]

It was 110 today in Corona and my frag tank hit 85.6 before my 1/15hp chiller took it back down to 75

 

[Bebo77]

82's.. at 83 lights start turning off...

 

[Duddly]

79.5 then my chiller kicks in until it's down to 78.5. Last summer my tank hit the low 90s, at least 92f. I lost alot of corals and a couple of fish. I don't want to go through that again.

 

[acronautical]

My 150 is set at 77, but actually got up to 79/80 during last week's heat wave, even with a 1/3 hp Current chiller. Unacceptable, I think! During last summer's long heat wave, my little 10 gallon nano, set up bare bones in the garage and filled only with zoos and softies, got up to 105 degrees F! Everything made it, believe it or not.

Just curious, why is 79/80 unacceptable? I don't think most animals will show any ill effects unless it gets into the mid and high 80's.

only 83-84 for me. and it wasn't even the heat outside. stupid quiet 1 pumps have so much heat.
