Yesterday there was a power failure and my aquarium temperature rose to

The local pet shop owner reported that the fish jump out of her tanks if
it gets too hot.
Any suggestions on how to manage an aquarium during hot weather? (with
or without a power failure.)

Uncover the tank so as to maximise evaporation. Cover the tank with
screen to prevent jumping. Replenish the evaporated water.

Isn't it wild to be in touch with the whole world. It is 20F where I
live. Never got above 22F all day yesterday. At least I have
reliable power.

Good luck.
