Hi, is 30 or 28 degrees Celsius too hot for my tank with live rocks and inverts? I'm going on vacation for over a month so my tank will be at that temp for a while, would that be the cause of my hermit crab dying today?
28-30°c in my tank

I had a heater malfunction and my tank was at 30c (87f) for a week and I didn't see anything too bad. That being said I couldve been lucky, and you may get different results.

Do you have a cooler for your tank?

Already spent a lot on one cooler for the cold tank, I can't open this one for a fan because of the top off system
I would say 28 Celsius should be the max for long periods of time. Can it go above yes but my alarm goes off in my tank at 27.8. I wouldn't want it above 29 Celsius but some reefs do get that hot for a month.
Dumb question but do you have an air condition unit? Can you not set it to be cooler in the room.

I do but you know that tube on the back, it can literally burn during a month it's too powerful, I have a big fan but it shouldn't be turned on 24/7 for more than a month, I only have a chiller in my 18c saltwater tank with cold nems and other, we atleast opened the windows for aeration and I made the room a bit dark, the temp will generally match the temp outside, Paris is usually cold, but it will be 26c in a few hours, a few days ago some of my tanks somehow got up to 35c, I mean why should I be worried there's nothing I can do, even the chiller just gave up, but I guess it's natural some reefs do get 30 Celsius, imo winter is the best season for reefs but depends on the country
