When the water at the very top of that system it 88°F I started putting cool hose water in the sump and siphoning hot water from the tank. I brought them down to 84°.

Pepper, Morton, Fish, Chips, and Photon all seem to be hungry and active.

its not something you need to worry about, they fine even in the low 90ies. but the water changing of doing it is nice.

Air temps got over 106, so keeping the fish alive was uncertain. I added more circulation, raised the HOBs for splashing, added extra pump just to spray water around in the open sump. This all seemed to help somewhat without the water changes, but this tank is in mini-cycle mode, having just been moved, so the water was welcome.

I bought some 1" foil-faced styrofoam to insulate the tank from the heat, also because temps drop at night. I want it as stable as possible.
