Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.

Lol.

So far, the 6 inch desk fan over the tank is holding the temp at 79F.

Tank is doing fine, but my new salt water tank is 82F. That'll turn the chiller on for a bit after my weekly WC. Suppose I could put a fan on it ... pfft

Came home to a whopping 81.5 today, I really need to figure out how to set my delay on my portable ac unit!
Top floor condo so i get the heat from above an below.
Also need to figure out how to reset my alarm mode on my reefkeeper light, as its stuck in alarm mode so i cannot go into standbye feeding mode

House is 84/29 right now but I'm being stubborn about turning on the AC
I am feeling a tad bit light-headed though ...
If I eventually faint, maybe I'll come to after it's cooled off
Of course, cold beers are helping. And the only reason I'm not outside is 'cause it's WC night ( and I'm typing when I should be WCing)

We build industrial power generators and tested one in the building yesterday that was so large we couldn't even fit the engine all the way into the test bay. So the radiator is outside the bay - 11' x 11' - and blowing all the 200+C heat into the shop. Plus the load banks outside the door blasting their 2500amps of power burn-off. They utilize heater elements to use up the power output. So 2500amps of electricity converted into oven-style heater elements and you get the idea. It's freakin' HOT
The test bay hit close to 50C and the rest of the shop was between 40 and 45. And I was all dressed up while welding.

This heat at home isn't so bad right now after being stuck to my coveralls all day.

Yup, that's one big Rad
