It’s super windy in pearland- I guess it’s coming….

Yep. Same here in spring. It started to hit us about an hour ago and it’s just going to be a continual drop to 16 degrees just before sunrise tomorrow.

Elliot has arrived. Are you prepared? Im ready for up to 2 weeks without power/water.

Okay 1st power out for couple seconds... what da ... be careful what you ask for. That one was rough, you could hear the power go and come on.. hope you have your sensitive stuff on surge protectors.

i didnt remove or wrap the ro lines that are outside... i suppose i can just replace them once it warms back up.

No need to change you should be fine.
Mine are outside as well.

Yeah, it has drastically gotten colder and windy since 4pm here in the Spring/woodlands area. All my potted plants are in the garage and the ones I care for has a blanket of some sort on it. That last freeze killed about 25 plants including a fruiting mango tree of mine.

I also lost power for about at hour from 7p to 8 p.

What are you using that records the temp like that?

StackPath I have an older base station and log the data to their site. I have sensors in various rooms, attic, and garage. I also have it tied into my home automation system via their api, but newer base stations can tie in locally.

I think the temp killed the soil sensor battery, was about time to replace it anyway. Dip in the garage was me opening it to take garbage out.

That's so cool!! I don't have a need to monitor my house in that much detail but it's super cool!

just now waking up 10,20 reef tanks are at 76.5 going to add a room heater to the room have all 4 heaters running in my 2 tanks and not keeping up.
I may need to buy some 1000 wt heaters but afraid of overloading a circuit

 

[gregg]

at about 8pm last night my temp on my tank started to drop and by this morning it was settled at the same temp as my house is at (74). I'm thinking my heater went out?

 

[RR-MAN]

Our heater was blasting on 79 - wife heated the house. tank was nice and cozy.

If you have an fmm or display you can set an alarm

Heater 1&2 are 100W, 3&4 are 150W. Heater 1 has been on almost non stop, only used heater3 a few times. I do have a canopy though, so evaporation is not a big deal for me. If your heat is blasting causing a draft in the room, that is going to be warm dry air and you are going to have a lot of evaporative cooling. Make sure nothing is blowing on your tank.
