exceedingly warm tank

[cryo]

Well over the past few weeks I've been trying to get everything together and I'm realizing with the Arizona summer approaching my water is going to be pretty warm for the next fewmonths. Been monitoring my thermometer and its a pretty steady 82 with spikes up to85. I added an air stone opened tthe lid. And now I'm wondering what kind if any fish can I keep. Its a 45g tank I don't have the actual dimensions handy

That's discus territory. Dunno if you want those, though.

If you are made of money, maybe you could look into a chiller like they use on marine tanks.

That's just a crazy thought though.

No discus if you're a beginner. But check out their tank mates who can handle higher temps. And ask your local fish club.

Many varieties of cichlids outside of discus thrive around 80-82 degrees.

GBRs would do well in a tank like that.
