How do I keep my tank from overheating in the summer?
I have a stable 30 gallon tank that has been going for a few years now.
In it I have a half a dozen live plants, 7 neon tetras, 3 flame tetras, a molly, two swords, two ADFs, a pleco, a chinese algea eater, a khuli loach, and a gold dojo (weather) loach
But ever summer I seem to have the same problem. Since I don't have AC, when a heat wave hits, my house gets very hot. The problem is it gets too hot for the tank (mid to upper 80s and sometimes even in the 90s). Then at night it cools down to the mid 70s to low 80s. The extreme heat plus the temperature fluctuations are not good for the tank. (I have my tank heater set to kick in if the temp drops below 70.) I have tried adding ice cubes and cold water, but that only works if I'm home all day and can add them in small doses. Does anyone have any ideas how I can keep my fish safe during the summer and when I'm generally away from home all day?
Thanks for any help or advice
Just increase the amount of water movement in the tank - make sure the the surface is well disturbed and the water is well circulated - the fish can handle those temperatures so long as you can keep the oxygen levels up. You can try the fan method which should help a bit, but to do this you need to keep the lid off, which will result in a lot of evaporation.
