The heating system is offline. I am leaning towards the return pump.
Good point!! I use my kitchen digital thermometer to verify temps.Conversely, have you verified the temp with another device? Maybe temp probe is kaplooie.
Well my return pump is pretty big. I just felt the body of it and it feels like it is the same temp as the water.If it IS a return pump issue, then your pump should be uncomfortably warm to the touch.
To increase tank temp 4* over 2 days would require a VERY hot spot on something as small as a return pump.
Good call. I did this the other day on another post about temp accuracy. I was told that kitchen thermometers do not need to be precise so I should trust the Apex. I just took this pic a moment ago.Conversely, have you verified the temp with another device? Maybe temp probe is kaplooie.
The uv bulb is off I am going to turn the pump off too now.Id turn that u.v and skimmer off to help, like you said
So your water temp is OK?? I’m confused.Good call. I did this the other day on another post about temp accuracy. I was told that kitchen thermometers do not need to be precise so I should trust the Apex. I just took this pic a moment ago.
I feel like I am seeing my tangs up at the surface more skimming the waterline. I see that as them lacking o2 but I am also a hypochondriac.For softies and LPS 85-86 would not bother me... I ran one of my first nanos mid 80's every summer as I was in college in a cheap apartment that didn't have central air.
At my current residence, my central went out when I was out of town during a hot spell... my tank got to 92-93 degrees
I can say I had no fish loss, no soft coral loss, lost 2? LPS and almost all SPS. Overall I was surprised the tank was mostly just fine.
I doubt that is the issue then. It would require a VERY large heat source to overcome both natural equilibrium and push your tank to a temp 4 or 5 degrees above what the heaters are set at.Well my return pump is pretty big. I just felt the body of it and it feels like it is the same temp as the water.
So am I. Which do I trust? Apex or kitchen thermometers?So your water temp is OK?? I’m confused.
2 kitchen thermometers from the looks of things.So am I. Which do I trust? Apex or kitchen thermometers?
Valid point. Split the difference?2 kitchen thermometers from the looks of things.
Skimz L160 with an Askol motor block.What kind of return pump are you running?
Do you have like a Hanna salinity checker with temp readout, I wouldn’t trust the kitchen stuff
There’s a half a degree diff between them so pretty close. Where the Apex is saying it’s 4 degrees hotter. That’s a pretty big diff. I’d go with the kitchen ones.Valid point. Split the difference?
