Tank temperature

[IshDeOne]

Its defn the weather tats suddenly raising my tank temp up..

But I'm concern tat if sucha fluctuations in my tank temp

Normal days 28-30

Sibei hot dahs - 31-32

Will my livestocks survive? Currently i haf one clownfish only.. But I'm planning to introduce more livestocks but i am afraid if they will nt thrive bcuz of the temp..

For clownfish shld be ok. Other fish from deeper water will color fading in hot environment. Do more research on livestock requirement before proceed. Best is control your temperature at range 28C for fish. Cheers.

Besides using a chiller, is there a more Cost efficient method?

Can use fan too. But beware of the quick evaporation.

1)Use Led lights and situate the lights far away from water surface

2)dont run too many systems... all the pumps and refrigum lights add heat to water

3) go for shallow tank.. so ratio of surface area to volume is larger

4) prepare ice, cold top-up water.. use them if temp hits above 30C

5) No direct sunlight, place in cool part of your house

Using a fan should be able to lower the temperature down by 2 degrees max, thats what i am having now.. like bro andtsg said, the evaporation is a killer, I am topping up close to 500ml of distilled water everyday (you can do the math)..

try to put a marker for your desired water level so that you can watch out for it accurately..

Best thing is still get a chiller.. LOL

but doesnt chiller incur high electricity biils?

Then go for compressor. My elect bill dropped 40$ after switching from chiller to comprrsssor . (:

Hi bro IshDeOne, chiller will definitely consume more energy. If you wanna try out using a fan, i have a brand new spare fan to pass to you foc.

Pm me if you are interested... cheers

fan is good enough for a small tank. My 10G tank never over 28C with a computer fan. but need to top up a lot of water.

bro, fish should be fine.

I initially run at 28 degrees and without chiller during hot spells at 30 degrees, the fishes still happily swimming away.

Use cooling gel in bottle at daiso it work for my small qt tank. Or just get a fan. Don't let water go in will get shock by the electric
