I am about to go through my first summer with a reef tank and already I am concerned about my tank temperature.

My tank is on the main floor and my sump is in the basement where the temperature is much cooler which helps reduce the temperature a bit.

The frozen pop bottle idea sounds great! How well does it work?

Let's hear all the great ideas, and any experiences on past "great ideas", thoughts on what is acceptable, what is not for temp swings.

Go on, heat it up!
