๐ง Build ContributorItโs HOT - how are you cooling your tank(s)?
Itโs scorching hot even though we paid our SoCal weather tax! Is the refund in the mail?
Itโs 92F outside and all my tanks are at 80F. The kitchen tank has a 1/3HP JBJ chiller and the fish roomโs tanks are cooled by a mini-split.
Are you and your fish & coral friends ok?

Apex kicks the Vornado fan on at 78.9, and off at 79.9. It usually runs for about 20 minutes a couple of times a day, blowing across the top of the water. Same set up on our the 45 gal we had before this. we do have a JBJ chiller in the shed just in case....I think it is a 1/4hp, but can't remember, and it is too hot to go look.
