"My garage is getting too warm, I'm gonna have problems if I can't chill the water."
How warm, is "too warm"?
Got 5 gallon DWC buckets on the lanaii.
The water runs about 85 ℉ .
Hotter, in the summer.
I don't use chillers.
Heat does not cause root rot.
It will accelerate any growth, including your girls.
But it does not "trigger" or cause pythium and anaerobic wee nasties.
The problem with hotter water is aeration.
Hot water holds less air.
If your air pump is sufficient to the task, it's no problem.
Dunno about Chinese, but that little one was talking Tagalog pidgin.
Ignore the yammering, read the body language.
Aloha,
Wee

Right now the garage is 80. I have read res temps over 75 open the door for root rot. My air pump is adequate, but I will add another. If the higher temps don't cause the rot, what does it do, make it easier for it to set in if the plant is not 100% healthy?

But, a 100% healthy plant can defend it's self against the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune with little, or no help from us.
