Hey
Over the summer my water temp has risen a bit but overall I still found it high.
My temp in March - 80
My temp now - 82
I have a 60 gallon tank with a Hydor 300w heater set to 72.
Current stock incl. 2 Clowns, 1 Cleaner Shrimp, a few Nerite snails and approx. 40 Nassarius snails (they keep reproducing!) but I want to add more now.
I’m also worried as we have a wood stove located in the basement (not near the tank, but about 30ft away in next room) and when the winter rolls around I’m afraid the tank will heat up a lot.
Is my heater just too powerful? It isn’t on 24/7, it does cut out so it isn’t broken.
also, are there any affordable chillers? only ones I’ve seen on my usual canadian fish supply are over $600 which is a lot to spend without saving and holiday shopping coming up.
