My A/C died... My A/C went out, the building is 87F and its 103F outside. I don't have a chiller and it can't be fixed until Monday. I have a 125g tank with live rock, 2 Ocellaris Clownfish and a Yellow Belly Regal Tang. The tank temp is 79. Does anyone know what to do? |
try running a fan across your tank with your top off maybe??? icecubes(watch salinity)??? |
The tank is up to 86.5. I think I will put some ice cubes in a Ziploc. Will that work. |
Turn off the lights and remove your hood. Also use the idea of blowing a fan across the surface. This will lower the temperature 4 or 5 degrees normally. Ice cubes in zip locks sounds like a nice idea also. |

It's cooler outside now (10 less than the building), so I'm running several industrial fans out there (total of 45,000cfm). The tank's temp has dropped to 84.9. |
Good luck, I hope you manage to keep the temp down until it's fixed. If you're still having trouble, how about putting some water in a plastic bottle, freezing it and then putting it in the tank? |
I got the tank cooled down, and the A/C is back on. (It got struck by lightning). Thanks for your help. :D |
