How to insulate the aquarium? My tank running at 26c now. Plan to bring down further if can.

Try wrap around the tank with the heat insulator (from daiso) double sided tape to the tank. It looks like the aluminium kinda paper. Put the fan on facing the water u will get 1-2c lower but must always add water (daily basis). U can add chilled water though.

They are killing your shrimps. I had it in my tank. It cames either with your new plants.

Anyone has got some cheap CRS to sell or giveaway tongue.gif? I have a community planted tank with tetras and cherries, so far cherries breeds and live well, so wanna upgrade a bit to CRS to test water smile.gif water temperature is around 26 with fan on during day time.

I think crs got different water parameter. Please ask Arrow.

Guys i've been wondering. My tank has been cycled. The problem is that its around 30 dgree celcius. I already have moss(java & christmas) all are DEAD (brownish). When bought. Everything green.

Next. My cherry shrimp died. All of them by now. But not all in single day. Maybe a few days. One died. Next few days one died and so on. So is it because the temp?

Parameters: ph 8.0, ammonia 0, nitrite 0, nitrate (40), have mineral rock, 1 feet tank, 2.5 months life tank from bought and cycled, HOB filter (sponge and bio ring), tds around 119, put in living room. No aircond. Just ceiling fan.

U may buy the aluminium insulation sheets from the Japanese shops and put around the tank (3 panels).

most likely is the temp. try put it in a dark corner maybe its cooler there.

edit: also preferably nitrate = 0 if possible biggrin.gif
