herefishiefishie Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 The joys of sub tropical Queensland. Today's forecast 35 degrees. 8) Dry nor wester today, just like home(chch), just a tad hotter.. :lol: The problem is Tanganyika cichlids hate water over 30. 2 years ago(really hot summer) I lost about 5 to the heat. I was lucky to lose only a few compared to alot of others. I have one room that gets hot(good for winter) that has 2-4 footers in there. Last year I used some Kiwi Ingenuity, replaced the lids on the tank with mess, & placed a high velocity fan ontop of one of the tanks. Set up filters so top of water is choppy. Keeps the water a little cooler. Worked really well last year. I have to keep eye on water level, as it can drop a bit over a few days. So today I set it up as tanks were 28.9 degrees.
