temp in tank

[tonyponty]

hi all what is your temp of your tanks i got told to have mine around 80 but i went to lfs and they had all there tanks running at 86 so what is the temp to have thx

[Dons1903]

Tank should be around 25/77 but mine does go up to around 28/84 on really warm days! :shock: [/u]

[oakwell]

been topping 81 on the warmest of days but now down to 77/78 and the heaters switched off at that

I run mine the same as Dons1903 although I am tempted to raise a degree or two over winter.

Mine has been running at 25 /26 degrees during the hot spell, but i have 2 6 inch fans on a thermostat that come on at 26 and go off at 25. A with all things with marines stability is the key if it runsat 28 keep it near to that within a degree and you should be ok. HTH. Eric, PS Welcome to Reefcorals Oakwell. :)

Hi

Completley agree with TM! :wink:

Stability is the key in any tank and i run my temp around 26 degrees.

The tank is kept cool by 2 B+Q desk top fans and a habistat cool control.

The whole lot cost around £40 and has kept my tank well over the hot spell.

I would also like to add that my tank is upstairs in an open planned house and in front of a window and has 3 halides over it so that is a good enough test if i ever seen one! :grin:

Cheers

Tangman sounds like you got a really great tank, got any pics up on here yet I'd love to see it

[total*clowns]

our tanks also run at a stable temp of about 26 degrees.....

Hi we keep my daughters tank at 26, but in the hot weather had a desk fan blow accross the surface to maintain temp. Need to check the water level and top up for evaporation if do this to avoid salinity in tank creeping up. :)

Run mine at 28 so when tank warms in summer to 30 there isn't much of a temp increase. Never gets above 30, but to go from 25 to 30 is a big shift. :shock:
