Do you guys have trouble keeping your water cool? I keep my mixing station in the garage and during the summer my water gets over 90° and takes forever to cool down. I have to bring in buckets and let it cool over night. I hate to get a chiller just for a mixing station.

I keep my stored water in our home and my wife never lets us raise the temp above 70.
She's just going threw that time (stage) in life with the hormones.

If I re-hung MH/T5 in our den, then I'd have to meet you at the dog house.

I have a 165 gallon saltwater mixing polyethelene storage tank and have noticed that it has a slight brown slime growing on the inside of the tank after using it to store my saltwater for 5-6 months. I usually do a 35-45 gallon weekly waterchanges from this water and just add in more RO water and fresh Fritz RPM salt mix to bring it back up to 1.025. Just wondering what is this thin layer of brown slime?

Probably some bacteria and/or algae. I don't think its any concern.
