my tank is at 84 degrees. wtf am i suppose to do.

[NewbReefer]

put some fans blowing across the surface of the water on the tank and on the sump if you can, also some bottles of froozen water or bags of ice in the sump or tank will help, just keep an eye on it so you don't cool it to much.

I think he hit it right on the dot..... frozen bottles and clip on fans would be the immediate step


and take off glass tops if you have them on

Nothing more to add here. Try to cool down the room too. That will help also.

84 not to high ive seen tanks stay between 82 and 84, i only worry if they get around 86 or higher or change more than 2 degrees in a day. to big and to quick of change in temp can effect your tank.

I have the same problem. My tank gets 80 during day and 75 at night. I have been trying to fix this, but i went out and bought a new nighttime heater. We will see how this works out. Is 80 too high?

[NewbReefer]

80 is not high, my tank ranges from 79 at night to 81 during the day.

[Bifferwine]

80 is not too high. That's around where my tank stays at all the time. Stability is important, if it stays at 80 all the time, your animals will be happier than if it swings six degrees within a 24 hour period.

Ya well i will have to watch it tonight and try to keep it more steady with that new heater set up on my nighttime timer. i hope You got your problem solved nudy6969

You should probably always keep a heater with a min temp set up -- you could accidently leave a window open or something and your tank would get to cold.
