What do you all do in the summer with your tanks? I had my temp climb from 76 up to 81 yesterday. The fish don't seem stresed about it, but I worry about such a temp change with them. I have turned off my heater and am keeping the lights off and my ceiling fan is on in that room. I don't use my central air if I don't have to (it's on now as it was 90 degrees at 5:30pm). I want to keep my fish comfortable and not stress them.
I think keeping their lights off helps - I normally turn them on at noon and off around 9pm. How much light do they really need? This is not a planted tank. They have some natural light, of course.
Right now, the temp is back down to about 78.
