Tank Temps

[markgsa]

My 30g cube temps 78-81. no chiller.

My hood. 175w se mh, 2-32wpcs and one radio shack cpu fan. Fan turns on with lights. Thought the set up might help.

80-81 in my cube, and 79-82 in my 75g. AC stays at 75-76.

MY 29g Nano with a tight cover stays at 74-76 all the time. With that said I keep that AC at 72.

79-81. 2 canopy fans run with the halide and additional 2 wallmart fans are controlled with an Aquacontroller Jr.

Do rising tank temps promote cyano growth? My tank hit 84 about a week ago, usually 78 - 80, and ever since cyano went crazy. At first I had small amounts of cyano and some times none at all and now it is every where. I did pull a couple of dead snails out but besides that nothing is missing or dead. Anyone else seen unwanted algae growth when temps went up?

I keep mine 80 day and night with the help of my chiller. ;) Corals loves it.

my tank is running no chiller @ 80-83, our A/C runs 24/7 @ 77. I keep Zoas and a few fish and a 12 inch clam, they seem happy. I am getting a chiller installed next week, so that I can add some coral. My only concern is the noise level, my tank is LOUD.

Higher temps do encourage nuisance algae growth from what I have read. That could be the cause of your problems. Especially if your parameters havent changed much.

So what is the ideal range of temps.
