See the screenshot from apex. Last 6 hours heater flatlined and then started moving higher. According to apex, heater has been off for like 3 hours. Temp still rising. Heater is in the sump. Tank is at my office so I am headed there now to try and figure out whats going on.

Circulation pumps are off and the lights are heating the tank.
 
So I reset the calibration on apex and appears to have fixed the problem for the moment. When I arrived at my office the temp of the tank was 76.5 so was definitely a probe malfunction. The apex was only installed like 3 weeks ago so its super new. No algae on the probe and was still exactly where it is supposed to be.
 
Check your temp probe I had one come off the probe holder and gave me funny readings but why it’s reading temp rising is wierd
It's the heat wave out there they get every winter.
:cool:

Good news!
How warm does your office stay on the weekends?
