So this is a stupid mistake, but I haven't had a thermometer in my tank. I simply bought a decent heater (an Eheim) and set it to 78 to keep it from dropping.
Anyhow, I finally bought a little digital one and it is reading at 85 right now. I checked it against my freshwater tank, and other things, and I'm sure it's fairly accurate. It looks like one Trochus died, and I'm assuming that is why, all other parameters look great. Any ideas how best to deal with this?
The tank is a Coralia Biocube 29, has the Coralife return pump, mini skimmer, a jebao wp10 wavemaker, and that's about it to contribute to the overheating. It was 79 inside when I got home, and the lights hadn't been running all day (I left a switch off on my timer when I was playing with the Jebao) so that wouldn't be a problem. I can only imagine what it would be if the lights had been on all day.
What does everyone think on preventing this in the future? I now have my AC running at 75 and the 2 small lids open to aid in evaporation. I want to avoid ice to avoid a sudden temperature drop.
