If I had to pick one I'd say the digital....but I never leave it up to one

 

[levinjac]

So I just had my mom read my temp she said its 86 im going to try more ice than 20 to see if it lowers

 

[meowzer]

Do you have the fan blowing across the waters top?????

 

[levinjac]

[levinjac]

YA but i took it off to but the bag of ice in

 

[meowzer]

What kind of top do you have again????

 

[levinjac]

Just a canopy with built in lights

 

[meowzer]

Well somehow you need to open it up more...get more air to it.....and let the fans blow across the water more.........the fan alone should make a big difference

 

[levinjac]

I cant take off the hood without me messing somthing up I only have 2 little fans near the tank blowing on the water i have one big fan on top of my whole room

Ok, here's my suggestions:
 
Make more RO ice, but in the mean time, you can take regular tap water ice and put it in bags and float it in the tank
 
take the canopy OFF, or at the very least, leave it open, do whatever you have to do to pry it open
 
get that fan blowing across the top of the tank again, even if you have to stand there and hold it, you really need to get the temp down. if you have more than one fan, get it aimed at that tank
 
turn any powerheads off
 
turn any extra filters off, including uv filters, leave ONLY your return pump running, even turn off the skimmer if it runs with a pump
 
make more ice, RO and regular tap, the RO can go right in the tank, the tap needs to float in a bag
 
get a digital thermometer

Good luck.
 
I've been through the hell of an overheating tank, it's not fun. I had to literally turn off everything and stir the tank water by hand to keep it oxygenated. It was NOT fun

Thanks goodness I have never had to go that far...but the lid off and fan on the water should make a BIG difference IMO
