Weather is really hot and humid this week. Lucky I'm running a chiller, but its running more than usual. And I get condensation on my tank which normally doesn't happen. :blink: My set temp is 26C.

Any other reefers having the same thing happening?

do keep the temprature lower. maybe with a fan. below 29C is idea. 29 is hanging by a thread. above 30 is dangerous.

Especially with ur euphyllias and cataphyllia. very suseptible to "melting" and getting brown jelly in too warm waters.

i set my 4 fts tank temp at 26.5D and MH 250watt running from 4pm to 11pm. The tank temp went up to 27.6 at about 7pm. Poor 1/3 chiller was working. Immediately set a timer for aqurium mini fan to blow onto the sump.

Will add another on main tank if it did not improve.

Cheers

ya la!!! the mushrooms and softies doing quite ok. but i saw my LPS all look really receeded and shrunken. then i tot eh? how come. so i went to test NO2. when drawing water that time i felt it felt quite warm. then saw my thermostat not working. then saw the plug loose. plug in and saw 31c!! omg.

the most badly hit one was my bubble and blastos. temperature lowered steadily liao. but if there are going to be any casualties, i am willing to bet it on the bubble. sian, i hope none of my corals bleach too -_-
