STiTCH87
Saltwater OCD Victim
Just realized it's hot in my bedroom right now for some reason, checked the thermometer on my tank and the water is 86 degrees!
Just this afternoon it was at 77 like it always usually is. I suspected possibly a heater failure, but even my freshwater tanks were at 86.
The door to my bedroom was closed, but even now that it's open it isn't much cooler, and keeping a window open is the only thing that will cool it down sufficiently. So that poses a huge issue. If the temperature in my room can get that hot, in March, then there's no doubt in my mind that in the summer the tank water could get to 86+ degrees as well.
Which means only a few things, either I buy an expensive chiller, or I sell the entire tank before it has even finished its cycling. I have nowhere else in my house to put it. Not to mention no where cooler.
Another issue is I am running it the berlin method so there's no sump. So IDK if it's even possible to attach a chiller to a 29g that doesn't have a sump.
Someone please help me, because I am getting extremely stressed out and saltwater has been an expensive and troublesome nightmare since day 1 and I am literally about ready to sell the whole setup for $400.
