This Tank is HOT!!!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
you better get some of those attic fans in the garage. its gonna be a long hot summer bro. I think im just bad luck for you brother. Was just there. remember we were commenting on hot your tank was. sorry bro
 
Wow that is awful. Sorry for the loss dude.
 
man you gonna have to get a chiller for your FW tank! :eek: or start throwing some ice cubes in there
 
i would take some empty 2 liter bottles and fill them with water-freeze them. then you can put a few in the tank and let them float. you need to get a window unit or something in there! lol..
 
DAMN.. sorry to see that John. This is usually the time of year when I loose Tigs as well =-( If you noticed my freezer collection of Tigs is when it reached triple DIGITS in So.Cal.

I noticed with the combination of the heat and if an ammonia spike occurs Tigs will usually croak =-( just my observation. Just wondering did you have anything in the tank that may have caused an ammonia spike?

Past triple digit temps.

Last summer - One of my Mobas died the night before and did not notice till mid morning. Combination of heat and decaying fish perhaps caused death.

Summer before last - Went to San Francisco for a couple of days and one of my fish killed another and with the combination of heat and dead fish perhaps caused death.

Seems as it's always been similar situations. :(

You are sure dangerous as usual, Ky. Stop jinxing me! :irked: J/K... We were talking about another way of HOT, not this kind of hot, but I guess, HOT is hot :grinno:

Your theory is right on the money bro. I finished feeding them at 1:00 am, watch them for half an hour, went mop the floor, came back at 2:00 to collect his body :irked:
 
Sorry for the loss bro :(

I always like to keep ghetto chillers handy in the freezer. It helps drop the temp when it is needed.

I simply save empty soda bottle or milk jugs and fill them with water. Freeze them and have them handy when I need to drop temps. the plastic conatiner helps keep the ice from melting too fast.
