Aquarium Temperature

Fish whether they are in the wild or in a household aquarium are very sensitive to changes in temperature and a sudden or unexpected shift can shock the fish and throw off the harmony of their immune systems.

Aquarium temperature. The probe can be moved anywhere inside the tank. Lower temperatures cause the bacteria to become less active and can even make your aquarium take longer to cycle. Most freshwater tropical fish live quite comfortably at the temperature of most homes 65 0 to 85 0 f 18 0 to 30 0 c.

At 95 f 35 c bacteria die which can lead to ammonia spikes. This is not by any means set in stone though however this temperature range covers the most tropical fish at a comfortable temperature. A tropical fish tank should be between 24 27ºc and heaters are designed containing a thermostat to adapt automatically to ensure the desirable temperature is maintained.

For a tropical fish tank maintaining a warm environmental temperature ranging between 75 and 80 f 24 to 27 c enables the fish to thrive. This system has the advantage that the tank can be operated at lower temperatures when required allowing the collector to operate with high efficiency and the tank. Cool water fish do better in temperatures below that usually between 60 and 75 f 15 24 c but some of them enjoy water well below 70 f which is not suitable for any tropical fish.

And contrary to popular mythology temperature fluctuations do not hurt tropical fish. The tank provides heat directly to the house if the tank temperature is above 40 c and the heat pump draws heat from the tank when the tank temperature is between 5 and 40 c. Also it houses the batteries.

Digital display remains outside the water and displays the temperature of your aquarium. As an average a tropical fish tank should be kept at around 26 27 degrees celsius 79 81 degrees fahrenheit. Sensor probe sits underwater in your fish tank and checks the temperature.

Aquarium heaters combine a heating element with a thermostat allowing the aquarist to regulate water temperature at a level above that of the surrounding air whereas coolers and chillers refrigeration devices are for use anywhere such as cold water aquaria where the ambient room temperature is above the desired tank temperature. The preferred range is 65 85 f 18 29 c. Ultimately the best temperature will depend on the species of fish in the aquarium.
