I have a slight Problem

Courtney · 05-05-2008, 11:43 PM

My 58 Gallon salt water tank is 82.6 F and my poor little fish do not like it, i dont have a heater plugged in, the water is like that because of the Canister Filter in the bottom of the stand, its closed in because i have ferrets who think its fun to play with filters and things, so i have it closed in cause my chemicals are in there too, so what can i do?

82.6 is not that high. How do you know its the temperature causing problems?
What are your water parameters? How long has the tank been set up? What's the water change schedule? Do you have a protein skimmer?

My fish dont like anything above 78, and i just did a water change, the tank has been up almost a year, if not a little longer, yes i have a proteine skimmer and a filter, and two powerheads, and there is a glass lid on it cause my puffers jump, so do my skeeter fish and i have ferrets who would swim in it if it didnt have a lid

Trigger my Saddled Valenti Puffer keeps going in circles and like chasing her tail, she doesnt look sick or anything just not liking the temp,

Most saltwater tanks I see stay around 81-83 degrees.. The temp really shouldn't be a problem I wouldn't think.
