corrosionjerry Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 I am surprised no one has been talking about the heat! Had to turn off all my overhead lights to keep the tanks at 80 degrees... I noticed that the temp on the tanks that I have light on directly overtop were sitting at 85 degrees at one point... I also noticed on one tank the heater light came on at 82 degrees so I shut that off... must be a faulty heater Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vallisneria Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 My tanks are ok, but Mine are all in the basement. I have turned off most of my tank lights, or shorten the amount they are turned on, as I have 6 tanks in my bedroom and if I leave them on my room is a sauna.

Guest FLIP Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 I have 3 strips of lights that work very well and they don't do anything to the temp of the water or atleast not very much.(i have air conditioning :tongue: ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toirtis Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 Fortunately most of my tanks are downstairs, so most are pretty good...some of the upstairs ones are pushing 86ºF, though. Had a customer in today whose reef tank hit 94ºF yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishful Thinking Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 Not only was it hot here again today, but my power went off for two and a half hours! I was not having fun... :grr: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Chicklets Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 The unheated tanks in the fishroom were pushing 78 today. The 2 tanks on the second floor with the frog and toads are probably in the high 80s or low 90sand the ones on the main floor are at 85 to 86 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacey Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 All of my tanks are upstairs, but so far no problems. I've turned all of the heaters down, and unplugged the lights on the tank with the cheap heater and no plants. I was in Edmonton all day yesterday, (with the windows closed here at home) and the tanks were all hovering aroung 30 degrees. So not the emergency I was half expecting....... :thumbs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stribbelldk Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 I was doing 20% water changes for 3 days trying to bring tank to 80. It was at 88. But it was a good thing the fiance dont like the heat. We broke down and bought 2 window mount ACs. Now my temps are at the 78 mark again :thumbs: It was either the ACs or see if I could find a water cooler for the tank. My brother in Saskatoon has one. I dont know if he bought it or made it but works great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
