over heating on my tanks. cooling down now but one was at almost 89...super hot!! anyone having probs with these? the good super hungry tho..:popcorn:
 
what did you end up doing? i was thinking of putting some ice water on my tank..lol.. when my temp was up at 87 86...i noticed my heater was still on!! lol had to unplug it..
 
Point a fan towards the tank. Should help promote evaporation which should cool the tank.

I feel bad for you Cali-kids... us Central Floridians have not seen temps over 88F yet this summer. Loving it. If thats what global warming means, bring it on! I went surfing all day btw... constant 7footers = love!
 
Yeah, just point a fan at the top of the water. Warm water = Less oxygen, a fan pointed at the top of the water = surface agitation = More oxygen.

So, it may help a little in more ways than one.
 
My tank reached 95F on Th and no issues. I just make sure the powerjet are running at full blast with tons of bubbles. I did a water change and it drop the temp to 85F and today the water is back to 90F.
 
My GF's little 5 gallon betta tank got to 95F today. She came home to a dead betta and 2 Otto's dead.

Nope inside the house. Yes, it does get that hot inside the house. Plus acrylic traps all the heat.
