Hi everyone quick question. I’m planning my water storage/mixing station for my garage. The problem I come up with is won’t the water get too hot? As we know it gets quite hot in Texas and my garage is not climate controlled so temps I’m sure will easily hit 90 or even 100 making my water just as hot. So will that be a big problem when it comes time to do water change or will the tank water temp not fluctuate too much and I’m just over thinking it?

You always want to try to match water temp and salinity when doing water changes. That high temp will not be tolerated well.

You could run a chiller, or a day ahead hold the water in a container inside to get temp down. I would not put water that hot in
