OK, I think the chiller is working. Going to monitor it today to see how often it kicks in.
But too late, 2 of my Acropora underwent RTN (rapid tissue necrosis) from the heat stress, and I also lost a very nice neon green octopus coral. Fack. I'm going to remove the ground wire later and test if there's still a current leak, and probably try to install a permanent ground - the current one is attached to the chiller at one end and poked directly and insecurely into the mains at the other (I hear my primary school science teacher saying, "You do not poke ANYTHING directly into the mains!!!!").
Off to finish up the garden. Still a wee bit (not really) left to do:
1) Finish repotting all - ALL - the CPs
2) Dump S.flava var. cuprea into the fridge for dormancy
3) Prepare S.leucophylla x oreophila for dormancy
4) Divide S. x umlauftiana
5) Extend misting system in Nepenthes area - I need 2 more misters
6) Complete irrigation circuit through the entire garden
Whoa! A lot to do! And eagerly awaiting a new N.clipeata plant a few weeks later, this one is purportedly from a totally different gene pool than the 4 usual ones from Andreas Wistuba in cultivation.
