Freez RODI ice Cubes and put them in the sump. that is one way to battle this esp if you are at 86. good luck.

or a 1L bottle that is caped filled with RODI then frozen. you can swap them out and because this is one very large block of ice you don't have to worry.

Doing this right now. It's helping but I need to freeze more.

Why is your tank getting so hot? Do you not have AC in your place? Or are you getting heat from a return pump or M/H lights too close to the water? Your Temp is higher than safe for just about all your living things! Can you elaborate a little about your setup?

Any updates
I also had high temp last night. When I got home from work. Up to 84.3 my chiller trip the breaker but it all fix. And may have lost some sps frags and some colonies didn't look to hot. But everything else looks good. Got it down to 82 this morning. Which I was keeping my tank at 78-79. so should I wait a day or 2 to bring the temp more down. Like to get it to 79-80.

Sorry to hear about that guys. Mine went out about 3 weeks before I started building my new system. Hmmm $2000 dollars later and my house was cool again.

Ouch.. I so feel for you guys and the AC issues. my tank got to 81.1 yesterday evening with the chiller running. it just could not overcome the heat in the garage. I put the barrel fan in teh garage door and it finally was able to overtake the temps once it got past 7pm.

What sucks is having to wait weeks for everything to color back up.
