Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Today because of humidity feel like 141. Atlanta was like spring time.
Wow, you can’t even go outside! I hope your HVAC guys get paid well in your country. A working air conditioner is the difference between life and death, especially with the elderly in your country!

Already by the law you can't work outside from 12pm to 3pm between mid June to mid September. There is a petition where I live to stop outside work this week.

If I have an outside job I I was told I had to work in that heat, I’d quit but I’m a wimp.

We went a full day and a half without a working air conditioner last week. I think we saw 94 when we got it bandaided. Lasted for a day and a half then we permafixed it but it got up to 90 in the house again.

I don’t know how you did Tim, my wife would have booked a hotel room until the ac was working. I’d be home sweating and floating zip lock bags of ice in my tank.

She doesn't like spending money and the thought of potentially spending $10k for a new unit and another $600-$700 for a hotel wasn't in the budget.

$10k, really? Either I charge very cheap or someone else charges very expensive lol

I had the Ziploc bags of ice floating but there was no point in the sweat.
