I read somewhere people using ice packs and ice cubes packets to bring the temp down.

I don't see any harm in doing water change if you have the saltwater mix ready for use. Good luck man. Hope everything else goes back to normal.

just leave the heater off ... the tank wont drop below temp to much better cooler then HOT

How about throw the piece of sh$% out! What a nightmare, this is where you get back at the company who makes it by telling everyone the make and model so none of us buy it. I hope you can resurrect your tank, good luck

Well the ice packs are going to work, and I would probably throw in a bunch of ice cubes in the sump. I would not worry about the the tap water ice cubes getting the temp down is the big thing. In a small tank the tap water ice cubes shouldnt be a issue IE like phosphates.

just make sure that you have alot of oxygen in the tank as you know that the colder the water that more O2 is in the water, the hotter is the less I would throw in a air stone too. Good luck man......

keep us informed
