If the temp has stabled back out, not sure what else you can do, but to ride it out.

Moving forward might want to look into a temp controller.

Hope all your livestock pulls thru.

Run a fan over the top of the tank.

Hang in there. Run some fans on the tank will help if you have them.

Can you float bags of ice with those zip tie freezer bags?

yes i am floating 1 gallon of brs with rodi ice, once the tank gets back to about 80 i will take out ice to let it slowly go back down

Big Time!!

place wet towel on glass with fan hitting it.. that will suck heat out efficiently

How is everything?

 

[saintsreturn]

Stuff happens but dont beat yourself up about it. Just learn and adapt. That said, any update?

 

[MnFish1]

The thing is - I guess - why did it get to 92 in the first place. I would correct that. A controller maybe... But sad situation. The rest is watching and waiting...

Updates?

Just a guess but sounds like you had the heater on a controller and the temp probe got knocked out. Probe out of water read a much lower temp so the heater kept going and cooked the tank.

Would a temp controller help in a situation like this, though? This is one of my biggest fears, honestly. As Aquavaj (lol) mentioned, with the probe out of the water, it would read a much lower temp, and continue heating the water.

Throw some salt in with that ice. It cools quicker.
