Really pissed the congi jumped last night found him stiff as a board.

Worst part is this is a result of my stupidity. I had to put the tanks in the garage and the 75 was at 88 or 89 degrees was in an area that got more sunlight or being that its smaller it heated up quicker than the 150 so i cut the slots out of the lid to help with evaporation and maybe coll the tank down...such a stupid idea.

I've seen reefers use the fans intended for computers, might be an option if you have more poly's in there. Sorry for your loss.
