How hot did your tanks get today?

Is the pH in any of your tanks changed with high fan use? I have not seen any change which seems strange given my expectation that heavy air flow would affect gas exchange.

I don't have controllers so I'm not monitoring PH. Would be interesting to see the difference.

I don’t see any difference at all.

No I haven’t.

Unless you are dosing a lot of acid or base (eg kalkwasser), use CO2 absorbent media, or you normally keep your tank closed off to air exchange (eg glass lid, no skimmer) you wouldn’t expect much difference with increased aeration. It will just bring it towards equilibrium with the CO2 in the room air, which most tanks are already near.

Daly City- maybe 100 yards from the ocean. I have 1200 watts of heater working 24/7 to almost hold 77 in the tank. I don't think the ambient temperature hit 70 all week.

for some strange reason, my garage gets hot at night, are any of you garage tankers experiencing the same problem? i do have a window but it's just annoying i have to open the window at the night to cool off then tank. and close it to block out the heat.

Heat soak. Is the garage by itself? Meaning there is no structure above it?

I didn’t even check, my set point is 77, so it might’ve hit 78, as the house was only at elevated temps (higher than the tank set point) for 3-4 hours in the evening

It’s a one floor house, there’s attic above the garage

I bet the concrete is holding some heat

Garages tend not be insulated

81.5 F on Saturday. But that's because I'm an idiot and forgot to leave the door open to where the chiller is (meaning it wasn't getting proper airflow and was trying to cool an enclosed box).
