Nothing like a couple of hot days to remind a guy to clean his dust filters ...

I always forget to clean the dust filters on the fans in my hood. But when the weather gets hot, I get desperate to cool the tank. Then I remember that I can't remember when I last cleaned the filters. Two hours after I replaced the filters, the tank temperature had dropped a half of a degree, though the room temperature remained the same.

So far it looks like no damage. Hope everyone else got by as well.

Yeah I was freaking out at work worried, but when I got home everything seemed ok. I left the halides off the last couple of days and only turned them on for a few hours in the evening.

My tank was holding strong at 86 degrees even with the extra fans...lucky for me my tank is use to the heat ...Not a single loss

Then now is the time to make sure your fan filters are clean (don't wait like I did), and also to pick up a spare (or two) clip-on fan. I had a clip-on mounted inside the hood, but the plastic turned brittle and disintegrated this past week.

I have mine in the garage, Saturday was 102 the highest temp I got was 83. Went to running my lights over night. Frozen bottles of water for the sump.
