What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?

I wish I didn’t have to give this update, Jennifer is back in the hospital. She is having a very difficult time breathing and will be going for a CT to rule out an embolism. Those of you who believe in the power of prayer, please step it up. I know this is the last place she wants to be.
Just read this.
Jenn every prayer I have is directed your way my dear.
 
Good night everyone. Please do update us if you get any updates on Jenn.
Night Amanda!
Glad everyone is home and the cone looks stellar!
 
Okay. Thats what I thought. It already spiked up, so I hope it hadn't done any damage. Do you think it'd be good to set the inkbird to 85? Then in the morning to 82, then tommorow evening to 80?
When I got home from vacation the kids weren't running the AC, inkbird beeping fanatical at 86.
I opened the window turned on the AC, closed the windows and just let it come down on it's own.
Everyone/thing is fine.
2 years ago our AC broke and I would have to bring home 3 5 gallon buckets of ice and float them in the sump.
Like Tim said, just go down slowly they'll be fine Walker!
 
You know what, I think my tank has always been this temp (at least for a few days to a week). I think my heater failed, where it always stayed on. The thermometer wasn't calibrated so I thought it was okay, when in reality my tank was way too hot. This would also explain why my hammer isn't doing too hot (pun intended). I am slowly lowering the temp, and I really hope my hammer will extend normally. This makes much more sense though, because my tank has been evaporating water like crazy.

My all time favorite player. Ever.
One of the truly nicest people ever.
An inspiration always to me.
Hoping everyone has the best day they can today.
Y'all are in my thoughts every day.
 
Good morning PEET! I can’t believe I’m off today. I have two high school friends coming in and staying the night tonight. Both living together after divorces , my wife fixed them up years ago. Her son, my godson is a groomsman and my daughters partner in the wedding today. He was my best friend in high school and roommate in college. That is his boat I was on in the picture of me with the bass. Leaving tomorrow for CT. Still waiting to hear back from Jennifer about her Cat Scan results. I’ll let you know when I hear. Have a great day everyone and here’s a pic of the tank this morning.
