    I've seen fish and coral survive a temperature that high...

    But get it down as quickly as you can..

    Although fish and coral might be able to handle 84 degrees temporarily, nothing higher than 81 is really OK for a constant temperature

    That's getting pretty warm. I'd be floating some ice in bags at that point.

    I hit 84 a couple days ago when it got real warm here. Everything but my lps looked great, the lps looked a little PO'd. Icebags did the trick for me, I hate summers though I run the AC just to keep the tank cool

    Man, what a pain....I'm trying to brainstorm.

    Have you already shut your light off? Or how about using a fan or A/C to cool the room it is in??
