[AquaticLife] Turning the heat DOWN
Uncover the tank and take a fan and aim it at the surface of the water on high speed. Increase circulation and surface agitation by changing how the filter system water is returned to the tank and/or add air stones to the tank. These steps will increase the O2 levels in the water which is needed when the water temps get higher. They will also help increase the evaporation rate which will release some of the heat from the water. Of course, you will lose more water to evaporation so you will have to top it off more often and be diligent with your larger weekly 25% PWC’s since you will have more of a buildup of salts, etc. since they do not evaporate when the water does.
