BTA 85 degrees?

[KnH]

Battling Dino O. It was suggested to raise my temperature to 85 or higher. CUC snails. Clowns and BTAs

That sounds to me like a very bad suggestion! I would go 81-82 MAX but why? :confused: How long were you advised to keep this temperature?

Why don't just wait it out? :) Remove whatever you can daily, stay on top of your husbandry maintenance- and keep your nitrate and phosphate levels in check.

Is it a new tank?

They will bleach and end up dying

Bad idea.
Your going to make stuff upset.
You battle Dino’s with UV, direct syphon, rapid filter changes and keeping nutrients stable and in the bands.

time to get your advice elsewhere if that is the level of information they're recommending.

Bathwater temperatures, maybe add extra magnesium at the same time?

Mr. Bubble?

The current tank is set at 79, I have a UV & pump coming, and I'm battling O so the UV should work, I'm running a GAC reactor also, so raising the temp to 82 seems more doable, I know but the Dinos are not making the BTAs happy either. Is 82 more Reasonable/Doable

Yes, too cold for a bath but reasonably safe for a reef tank. Remember that O2 is less soluble in warmer water, so monitor for O2 stressed fish, and have plenty of surface movement.

Just don't mess with the temperature! :) Keep it as it is; fight the fight. It will go away.
