The cooler the better....algae tends to love the warm water.

Re: How Hot Is Too Hot?
ok.
My setup is driving me crazy w/ the temps. Have a 29gal heavily planted
with a Current 65*2 fixture. It has two fans but they drive me crazy with how much
noise they produce. W/O the fans the tanks seem to peek around 82F - 83F.Comment

Is the fixture on legs? Are you using a heater? How about a canopy?"Millennium hand and shrimp!"Comment

Re: How Hot Is Too Hot?
I'm going to try putting the fans on a timer so when I might not be around they will come on.
I don't use the fans @ all times because of the ridiculously loud noise they produce.Comment

Re: How Hot Is Too Hot?
Well the fans are there to help keep the bulbs cool....not the tank...the extreme heat will shorten the life of the bulbs/ballast if you are not turning them on when the lights come on.700g Mini-Monster tankComment

Re: How Hot Is Too Hot?
That's really strange, though, that the tank is that warm. What is your normal room temp?"Millennium hand and shrimp!"Comment

Re: How Hot Is Too Hot?
Depending on the type of fan you are using it sounds like to me that the oil in the bearings have left the system. Â You could re-oil the system and get it back to working order and not make all the noise.
