Default Came home to a Sauna! Advice?

I missed the June Meet-up because we went to the Island for a few days while our daughter checked in daily to make sure everything was ok. We had the portable A/C running, auto-feeders, thought everything was covered. But, no.

We came home & the place was like a sauna. The tanks were up to 90F, up from 78F. The A/C was a steamy little furnace. I put ice packs in the tanks while my husband checked out the A/C - turns out our daughter moved it & the ventilation hose popped off so it was re-circulating hot/humid air. We set up fans & opened the doors/windows. Took a while but everything except the leather was ok this morning. And one snail's dead.

Just goes to show that even with the best planning, things can go sideways!

Wondering what you guys do to prepare the tank for when you're away?
