That should still be ok temporarily if it comes down again. Ideally you don't want it to go above 28, but up to 30 for short periods should be ok.

Yeah hotdog is right- you really dont want it to hit 30. Also remember, the most important thing is to try and keep your temp stable.

If it gets too high try and get a fan to blow over the water surface to cool it down
