tHEcONCH Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 Just cover your tank in blankets to keep the heat from the light in - they'll be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cichlid7 Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 ive unpluged all my heating in my fish room and replaced it with 4 fans and left the door wide open. Current temp in my fish room is 37*c and my swimming pool is 29*c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 Your summers down there you probably need a chiller! spent quite a bit of time in Blenheim the weather is stunning so don't stress too much about it, don't worry unless you have discus or other sensitive fish..

Mrs Frog Posted December 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 I'm actually halfway between Blenheim and Nelson and at the moment we aren't super hot here. My room doesn't get sun where the tanks are and the Axolotl tank (unheated), has only ever risen to 21degrees....and that was on a stinking hot day...so I'm a bit worried that my tank might cool down too much. I have got it covered in a blanket now. I only have danios and neons in it...they're pretty hardy aren't they?? Whats Ick?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David R Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 Whats the point in unplugging the heaters? They won't be working anyway if the temp is that warm. :-? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
