Just wanted to add that in emergency (like blackout for hours in heat of summer) Triple-ziploc bags on any veggies in the freezer floating in the sump works for a few hours, too.
God-willing, we won't have to deal with that this summer!

Plus also watch out for faulty heaters. They only breaks when you need them or when you completely don't need them.
I used to remove them once the weather gets warm but since the temperature stills fluctuate a lot last couple of days that reef needs more constant temperature, so postponed it til tonight(I mean it-I really have told myself to do it tonight after work.)
But TOO LATE

NOTE: Tony', the whole essence of what I have said is when you feel something is wrong, fix it immediately and don't wait. When Ronen feels that this safety thread should be bumped up, that's a sign telling us to prepare for the hot weather immediately and don't wait.

I hate to say it ,But it not a waste of money .Think of all the nice fish and corals that you are keeping alive .
Next thing ide like to say ( Note i do live on the top fl of a building) its cheaper to keep the AC on all day and night ,then having your chiller chill the water and heat your apt lol (note it does not apply to ppl with the chiller out side)
Keep the AC on helps me and my tanks and my parrot alot ,Keeps us all cool and sweat free all summer long
:bump:
Well hope everyone is ready for this week coming ,82 ,81 and 80 degress for next week ,that means HEAT
Dont get caught off gaurd .I dont want to see any heat related threads this year ,we should of read this and made arrangement to keep your tankmate cool for the summer ,not exceeding 83 degress ,84 would be breakpoint ,after that its downhill
Get your chiller AC and fans ready for next week ,its going to be a few hot days :lol_large :bump:
