Hello and Good Morning.
Everything in my tank has been going swimmingly so to say. lol I have noticed that over that past month I have lost 1 coral and one of my other ones is dying away also. I have been scratching my head going over everything except my temp. I have this little LED display on the upper right corner of my tank and all of a sudden I noticed that my 55 Gallon Display and 20 gallon sump is at 89 degrees. Everything in the tank is supposed to be between 72 and 79. I had a Mag 7 pump in there with a couple smaller pumps to feed my reactors. but I thought that I would put one pump in there to feed everything, so I added a mag 18. I didn't think of the temp at all and didn't think that they would put out that much heat.
So I quickly changed back to the mag 7 and it only dropped the heat by 4 degrees. I unplugged my heater and that didn't make a difference. I have been putting gallon freezer bags of ice in the sump and can only bring it down to 84.1 My one coral seems to be coming back, but I want to bring it down to at least 77 or 79. I am building a 90 gallon w/ a 30 gallon sump. it won't be ready for a about 3 more weeks. When I put the bags of ice in the sump they last about 45 minutes at a time. I now have the following in the tank for pumps and lights.
LED Lights - they are not producing hardly any heat at all, and the canapy is all open in the front and back.
Mag 7 pump running return, and 3 reactors
2 vertex 10 pumps with the drive motors on the outside of the tank.
VERTEX OMEGA 130 PROTEIN SKIMMER
I have the tank in my living room. The 90 gallon is being built down in my fish room in the basement where it is much cooler, not that its really that hot up stairs. The room temp is around 71 i think.
Any short term advise would be greatly appreciated.
