North Alabama Reef Addicts

mattsreefadise · May 25, 2015

So,
I realize that NARC is its own club, but I'd like to kind of rejuvanate a club here in North Alabama.
Mostly just to gather everyone and start being actively engaged with the hobby.
Let me know if this is stupid, or a waste of time
But I've already started the first frag swap on Facebook, set for June 13th.
Lemme know!

Have the fish sitter go buy bags of ice and set them into the tank. Keep the powerheads pointed at the surface. Put a fan blowing at the water surface, and keep all light away from it

ill be gone a month i need a permanent solution till i get back i appreciate the advice tho my fish sitter probably cant afford to buy a bag of ice every 4 hours for a month the ice would melt quite fast in my shop he lost his job last week so just need something less stressfull on him

Call aquatic cove on county line. They offer service for tanks.

Then do what I told you and get your temperature down, and go buy another ac unit. Or, get your livestock to someone until you can get back and take care of it.

You can purchase a window ac unit from Lowes or Home depot and have your sitter pick it up. You can pay for it so your sitter wont be out of money.

You need to get the water temp down ASAP.
If not, your going to lose everything. Not to mention you're going to start having problems after you fix this.
The fluctuation in temp is causing crazy stress to your live stock
