What is the hottest your Reef tank gets in the summer time? I am worried I may have trouble keeping mine under 82-degrees this summer.
How hot does your house get in the summer. Do you have air conditioning or central air? And what kind of light fixture do you have on what size tank??What is the hottest your Reef tank gets in the summer time? I am worried I may have trouble keeping mine under 82-degrees this summer.
The only reason I could think of was either a heater stuck on or was set wrong or your house temp was high because you forgot to turn on the AC. Floating the ice would be a recovery method from some other kind of mistake causing the problembut that makes me wonder about something I've heard and read in the past. I've heard people say that you can float bags of ice in your tank to drop the temp. But ice melts quickly and the drop in temp would only be temporary unless you continued to float more ice in the tank. And the temp would drop too low, too quickly if you continue to float ice in the tank. Any way, I didn't mean to get off subject, but I just never understood why people suggested doing that.
