Back again... realy need help. I cant do anything to get my water temp down. It is between 78.5-80.5... My room temp is between 74 and 76 and the water temp increases respectfully (4 deg higher than room temp). All I have is the c360 filter and small air stone. 50-55 gal, 8 cichlids,2 common plecos and a Bumble bee cat all under 2 inches (juvies),pfs substrate, no plants, some rocks. I recently had major brown sediment probably from overfeeding or diatoms??? I use RO water for pwc @10-20%. I now have green algae build-up. I ran my diotomagic filter and it pulled out flourecent green muck?? Water is still cloudy... What can I do?? Is it normal for a canaster filter to increase water temp by 4 deg.?? will 80 deg. harm fish?
