No… I have this issue too with my AC being out and other factors. I put an air stone in there for oxygen cause thats what depletes in the heat. Is the UV causing the heat spike you think?Wondering if i should keep the UV on...my tank temp gets up to 83.5 at the peak and 81 and the low at night.
Is this temp safe for a mixed reef ?
Yes, when the UV is off it drops down to 80.No… I have this issue too with my AC being out and other factors. I put an air stone in there for oxygen cause thats what depletes in the heat. Is the UV causing the heat spike you think?
I’d unplug that UV and see where temp goes.It’s a quick rise that kills, but I would not keep anything above 80
Thats what I'm starting to do, but the temp only get down to 81-80It’s on the verge if your corals we’re not acclimated to that temp slowly. Why not just run UV at night until cooler weather?

Why do you need UV?
It sterilizes both good and bad algae, being counterproductive IMM.

I cant get mine below 80 right now with the AC out either. My uv on and off doesnt make a difference, but if yours does maybe worth it and adding an air stone for the oxygen. Ive had to move most corals to my cooler tank because of this issueYes, when the UV is off it drops down to 80.
I cant fit a chiller either..
