I am looking to keep my tank's temp down as summer is upon us. We will be taking various trips and I am curious how to keep the temp down while away. Any thoughts?
Yes, it's a top fin heater that came in the start up kit.Do you have a heater where you can adjust the temperature?
If i’m not home, 80 saves me $$$ but only allows the tanks to only go up a couple of degrees each day, normal in nature although fish go to deeper water if it’s too warm.You guys use the AC @ 80? My god.. here in AZ 68-72 is normal for 6-7 months
If you have fish tanks you either have to have blackout curtains and/or AC. No other way around it.
You can do water changes with cooler water to lower the temp, float ice packs, etc., but its a huge pain in the butt. I keep mostly open top tanks so I lose a ton of water in the summer to evaporation so I just add cooler water.
If you can't regulate the room temp with an AC you're going to have to be creative.
