Please remember to check your tank's temperature and adjust accordingly. We've had quite a run of hot weather and things can get strange when the temperatures rise. My sump will get cooled off better in the summer thanks to the flow of my AC and I have to adjust the thermostat in my heater down a bit to maintain my thanks summertime temp of 79°. It's a little on the high side but that's where it's stable. If you find it running a little warm (80°+) I would suggest a small fan be put to use for evaporation cooling.
 
My solution was my Chiller. Got an issue last year as I had that chiller and never thought the internal thermostat was broken, got my tank chilled in one single night below 70~
After finding that kept the tank running with a temp controller.

Remember my words. If you buy something used from anyone in this hobby, tested onsite, never thought the chiller had that issue and the guy even tested on place but I never waited for the chiller to stop by itself, who could imagine that the chiller could had make ice of that reef :oops::eek::oops:
It seemed more of a complaint but was not lol, just sharing my experience :p
