I didn't want to chance a tank melt down come summer so I moved my upstairs tank to the basement. My main tank is already in the basement, although just running heaters and the basement usually cold, I did notice my tanks hit 79 yesterday. Yiks! Or so I thought. Since I keep them at 77 usually.

So it reminded me to turn down the heaters come summer.

as long as i keep my sliding glass door open, i'm good. when nobody's home and the place is locked up, the RK2 shuts the light down. thank god for temp controllers....(thank you Digital Aquatics) i will never let a prize aquarium live without a temp controller again. a chiller is nice, a temp controller is awesome...both is better. scratch that...ESSENTIAL. i insure my belongings....$2,000 in livestock is insured...remind me to review the insurance policies of the livestock i'm responsible for. shameless plug for reef computers: GET ONE! if you have thousands invested in an aquarium, buy an aquarium computer. the peace of mind is worth thousands....all you have to spend is $400. if not for the sheer dollar value, find comfort in the fact that you're sparing live animals.

Wife bought central air for the house last year (and tank was part of the reason), tank's 79°. She got another kiss from me.

a chiller sounds like my dream. johnny reefer, does your chiller keep all your tanks at bay, or do you rely on your AC. sometimes i want to leave it up to my ac/dehumidifier. i'll have a lot of tanks running, and i definitely need a good dehumidifier.

Well the first hot day of the year hit here today and my tanks have made it through unscathed. Hopefully plan A (fans and window air conditioner) will work tomorrow as well when the temps are supposed to be well over 30.
