Ok. So I start this new job a couple of weeks ago that has me working in Dallas Monday thru Friday. And of course, AFTER that happens, my air conditioner in Ardmore goes on the fritz, with me being 2 hours away and unable to perform any tank rescueage.
Fortunately, my wife was there to come to the rescue of my 55 and 20 gallon reef tanks. She dilegently performed ice treatments, setup fans, etc, to get the tank temps down and under control.
When she discovered the problem, our house was at around 95F. The 20g was 93F and the 55g was 89F. Yikes!!! However, by the time she had things under control a couple hours later, they were both down to around 80F. She had to leave them overnight as she was staying elsewhere with the kids (somewhere with AC). But she came back in the morning, applied some more ice treatments, etc.
Anyhow, I officially am nominating her as Reef Wife of the Month! Thank you much, Andrea!!! I look forward to getting home on Friday and seeing my corals NOT all fried and stuff...
Btw, we are making progress on getting the AC taken care of.
Also, my wife has wanted a deep freeze for a while. That's now moving up on the priority list for me. PARTIALLY as a reward for her efforts. But also as a place to store emergency frozen 2 liters of water for times such as this.

But that's cool anyway.
