When the thermometer's display began to rise straight, it was a hot summer. This is, not only the human body will feel great discomfort, the oxygen content in your tank will drop, causing a fatal impact on fish and shrimp. At the same time, you will find that the growth of aquatic plants begins to become very slow or even stop, then it is time to cool your tank!
First of all, at the beginning of the article, we must first remind everyone:
The cylinder is cooled, and it must not be too hasty! Some grasshoppers choose to add a lot of cold water to the tank in a short period of time, or even add ice. The sharp drop in temperature will cause great discomfort to the fish and aquatic plants in the tank, and may even cause death.
Today, Crazy Jun introduces you to several ways to keep your love tank stable in the summer!
Method 1: Keep the room cool
Keeping the whole room cool may be the easiest and straightforward way
. When the air conditioner is turned on, not only is the cylinder cool, but people are also cool. Of course, the electricity bill should also be very beautiful. When the sun is very abundant, the room with the grass tank is recommended to pull the curtains.

Method 2: Fan cooling
This method may be the choice of most grass friends. Generally speaking, the CPU is connected to the transformer by a large CPU fan. The water is blown on the fish tank and the water is evaporated by the water surface to remove the heat. The actual effect can reduce the water temperature by about 2 degrees. The price of the cooling fan is not expensive, it is considered to be inexpensive, and the only shortcoming may be that it is not particularly beautiful.

Method 3: Energy saving
1. Lighting is the largest heat source in the aquarium (can heat up 3-6 degrees), so you can adjust the lighting time appropriately during high temperature to avoid turning on the light during the hottest day. It is a good fit for the grass-roots who have a timer at home. (It can cool down 3-5 degrees)

2. Aquarium with a lid, the lid on the top is open and breathable
3. Properly turn off other equipment that may generate energy consumption.
Method 4: chiller
The chiller is the most worry-free and effective method. It has a large cooling range and good effect. It has been tested in person. It can reduce the water temperature of a 750L large cylinder to 16 °C in a few hours. The cooling efficiency is high; the freshwater aquarium is applicable, but Recommended by local tyrants, the price is quite impressive, you know

Method 5: Change the water for water!
Move the tank to the coolest place in the house, and then change the water regularly. This method is simple and straightforward, and it is very economical! However, the cost is very tiring, and frequent water changes can cause large fluctuations in water quality.

Of course, there are still a few points that are equally important in the end:

1. Pruning water plants in time
It is necessary to trim the water plants in time, so that the water plants are crowded together, and it seems difficult to think that it is not hot. Pruning too dense water grass, giving enough space for water plants. The water plants are dense, and if these heats are not timely, they will affect other plants. At the same time, rotten leaves contain a lot of substances that stimulate water plants, including bacteria, which are more likely to infect the next water plants during the hot summer months.

2, increase CO2
Aquatic plants are also metabolized at high temperatures and require a large supply of CO2.
3, moderation feeding
Fish feeding needs to be quite modest. Because high temperature will cause the fish's appetite to drop, the fish's resistance will also be reduced, so the feeding rate can only reach 5-6 percent. If the fish is picky eaters, fresh or frozen foraging, Must be eaten within 1 minute, can not be left, otherwise it will easily lead to deterioration of water.

5, timely addition of nitrifying bacteria
In summer, the load of the nitrification system is relatively large, and proper addition can help the nitrification system to decompose the garbage in the tank as soon as possible. (feces, excess food, rotten leaves, roots, etc.)
