Hey guys, Merry Christmas. We made it to the USVI so I can use American data. My inkbird says that my tank temperature is at 62f. Has anyone heard of any faults of inkbirds notifications while overseas?

Merry Christmas Walker, since I don't have that equipment I don't know, but let me look for some information, my recommendation is that you send someone to check in case it is a heater fault.

The best thing of all is that he already brought it big because going through the bad nights again is not easy ;) :face-with-tears-of-joy:
 
So I figured out what happened... I put timers on my return pump and theu didn't work and it never turned back on. So the tank dropped to 62. My neighbor went over to check and sent me a picture. All corals are closed but they still have polyps out, and he's seen 2 live fish so far, but I can guarentee the other one is just hiding. I'll keep yall updated until I leave for the next island, where I won't be able to use data.

Could your neighbor turn your house thermostat up to 76 degrees?
