I place frozen bottles of water at the surface and perform 20% water changes 10 degrees lower than the tank temp every 2 hours when heat waves occur.

Thanks for the support everyone. The good thing is that I don't have to deal with the heat till next year and I will be prepared.

What was the temp of the water on any of your tanks guys? I am wondering because I am in S. Arizona and it is a concern to me too, I plan on buying a tank here. I do know the garage is way to hot for aquariums in S. arizona.

The temperature water in the tank was at least 96 degrees.

I am wondering if fish can stand up to 95 F. if the water is well filtered and well airated?
