Please remember to NOT cool your tanks down quickly if they get up about 84 degrees!
If you do so, you are risking additional issues with your fish in addition the the issues your corals will have.

I just got home and mine is at 88 :-(


Fix Your Fin Or Get Your Fin Fixed!

The tank is at 88 degrees??
If your lights are on - turn them off.
Aim your power heads more toward the surface to agitate it more.
If there is an AC in that room, it's time to crank it up a little bit.
If you did freeze any bottles of water, now would be a good time to use them.

You want to slowly lower the temp. Doing it too fast is equally bad for the tank.

Good luck to you!
