    So we got back from visiting family over Easter weekend to find that our AC is out of commission!! I'm a little worried about the tank! Ambient room temp is reading 83 degrees :(

    Think the tank will be ok for a couple of days? Water still feels nice and cool.

    no thermometer? if things look dire, can always add a frozen bottle of water into your sump, if you have one.

    Probably. If the water starts heating up too much you can blow a fan over the top of the water to cool it off. Also, you could put frozen water bottles into the tank or sump.

    A battery powered air pump would be nice. pH swing is your biggest problem, not temperature.
