Hot tank

[Bleigh]

How’s your corals?

All recovered. I have one green metallic mushroom who moved where I can't see him well. When I get in . the crazy angle, I can see that he is opening up and seems fine. My purple zoas spit out a bunch of new heads - which surprised me.

Glad it recovered nicely. Similar issue last week here as well. Our AC doesn't turn on until I carry it up from the basement.. lol.

Came home and found the tank working its way towards 83 degrees. It looked silly with a window box fan sitting on top of the canopy, but the temp came down quick.

I’m sure an apex is in my future with


Yeah it's a nest. I had the max temp set too high for the fish tank. Lesson learned and crisis averted.

I was considering a Nest for my condo and now based on your experience I will stick with my old fashioned thermostat that I control by hand.

You can set an upper limit, I'm pretty sure I had my upper limit off. You can also turn off the auto-away mode. I just honestly didn't even think about it being an issue. Super happy I learned from it before it had gotten super hot!

Cobalt accu-therm, but the temp increase wasn't due to the heater. It was because the house got super hot because I was out of town and the AC has an auto-turn off feature if it knows no one is home. The feature has since been disabled. Glad it happened while I was gone for the weekend and not over a week vacay.

I had some of these in my 120 until one of them decided it wanted to get stuck while I was working, temp got to 88 before I came back in & looked at the tank. Threw them all out & now I use these. Works great.
