My tank is at 29.4 today with the fan running flat out, i am having to add 1.5L of plain RO water per day which seem quite a lot to me on a 65g system

But hey happy days i can put up with a little evaporation as long as my fish and corals are ok and i can get a chance to soak up some rays

Actually that's not really all that much evap John. For reference, on really hot days my ~75g total system volume evaporates a gallon per day. Unless of course you meant 65L, in which case that's about right...

Count yourself lucky at 1.5l, I'm loosing about 3-4l in a 70l tank each day

my little nano has just gone above 28 degrees, have turned the lights off & unplugged the heater, fans are going in there too.

I spoke to soon about my tank, It was 30 degrees last night, have turned down the heaters and left the lid open last night, now i can not find my copperband

To combat the heat i've been floating bags of ice in the water, seems to work well....just need to freeze enough bags to last a day.

Both my marine tanks have reached 29.0 C today but the fish, corals and clams don't seem too bothered?? Ah well hopefully we will be plunged back to the usual 10 C before long and the world will be put right.. As you can probably tell I am an 'obligate' cold weather person and this sunny spell is really ******* me off..
