I like the iced bottles idea of sadguppy's; presently ramming as many rum and cokes down my throat as I can so I can get some bottles emptied for freezing some water in hic

with summer here the general air temp gets warmer so hence does the tanks, our room where my 55gal tank is, gets really hot sometimes high 30's C how do i keep the tank cool apart from water changes everyday!!

Turn up your a/c

I run my aquarium at 25.5c and with the hotter weather it's risen to 26.5., but i'm using LED lighting so that helps.

A/C? In the UK? Hmmm... But a pipe dream my friend!

sadguppy i have ac in my apartment, nottingham city centre.

OK I concede that it may be present in some places but it is by no means the norm, not in houses or anything older than a few years. Maybe in new apartments but never lived in one so wouldn't know... I wish I had it on nights like last night but an open window is as high tech as it gets for me!

I live in one and it's only 20 degrees inside, but 27 outside

My grandma has a house made of clay and inside, temp can be as low as 25C while outside it's over 35C. But at night, you start wishing you had a heater. Tough luck installing one of those, my grandpa thinks that anything will make his light bill skyrocket (yet he pays so little to it that it makes me wonder what he spends the rest of his money on. Definitely not alcohol, he MAKES it).

Hey, sadguppy i sympathise, i wouldn't be able to live here without a/c during summer months due to the noise level, it's like living in ground central station when the windows are open.

My tank thermometer is off the scale at the moment

Easily 32/33 degrees

Going to try the frozen bottle trick

 

[Alm0stAwesome]

Goodness Peter yeah get that ice in there lol, it's because your tank is in the conservatory

 

[Fishy friend2]

turn heater down?

The heater's only purpose is in his name. It's to heat, not to cool. To maintain a temperature higher than the room temperature or equal. My recommendation would be to possibly float a small frozen or cold water bottle in the tank, and watch the temperature closely.

What's your stocking? You might not need to try and cool the water down depending on your stocking

 

[Scales9]

Getting very jealous reading about all this hot weather, please send some to Calgary! My house has AC so I promise my fishes won't suffer...lol

 

[FishFanatic04]

I feel like you all are rubbing your "hot" weather in my face. We should be gaining on 100 degrees within the next few weeks and it won't drop under until September.

But just to get you back...Me and the kiddies are all getting bathing suits on to go splash around outside! so
