Reef Tank Temperature TOO HOT!

Managing your Reef Tank Temperature can be difficult especially during the summer. During the summer your tank is likely to experience some overheating periods. This can be fatal for livestock.
In this video, I teach you about the Reef Tank Temperature Range and what happens if your tank exceeds this range. I tell you about both Reef Tank Temperature Celcius as Reef Tank Temperature Fahrenheit. Reef Tank Heater Placement for Heating an Aquarium. And I teach you about Reef Tank Aquarium Cooling using an Aquarium Cooling Fan. This will make your Aquarium Cooler.

*Want a nano reef like this? 🪸 I recommend getting the 12 gallon kit from Reef Casa:* geni.us/NanoReefTanks (As an affiliate of Reef Casa, I earn a small commission at no additional cost to you.)

everytime before I go to sleep, I watch any one of your reef tank videos, they’re just memorising to watch and help me understand more about marine keeping. Keep it up King👑

[@DannysAquariums]

Thank you!! I am glad you enjoy watching the videos.

[@nikovmel33]

Reefer in Malaysia will suggest a chiller to cool down the water. The most fav brand was Hailea

[@melissagarcia8545]

I just stumbled across your channel because I'm doing research before I start my aquarium journey and I love all your videos. But I must say your choice in music is my most favorite ❤️ thanks for all the great videos.

[@DannysAquariums]

Welcome to my channel, Melissa! Hope you learn a lot here. Feel free to ask any questions and I or fellow reef keepers will answer your question.

[@richardportelli1983]

I live in Sydney Australia where is regularly gets to 45 degrees Celsius. Last year our record high was 48 degrees for one day. I spent a lot of time insulating my roof space. Added radiant heat barrier and doubled the amount of insulation batts. But that was not enough. When the outside temps get over about 35 degrees which is almost every day in summer we also need air con. I use this on a wifi controller to keep my room temp at or under 26 degrees. Lots of work but it's worth it and keeps all my tanks happy.

[@mikelisish]

Cooling is made by evaporation ,so in case of hot room also aquarium is cooling down! Evaporation changes salinity so you have to add RODI water to get salinity to level that was before

[@DannysAquariums]

Correct!

[@sarahgrassi9648]

ive heard you can put a water bottle in the freezer and then let it float to also help drop temps.

[@StanleyZen]

genius!

[@PepeCoinMania]

yes you can but it won't solve anything

[@SusanforSLCAquatics]

A very beautiful video! Thanks for all the good info and suggestions! Keep up the great work! 👍🏻❤️

[@DannysAquariums]

Thank you so much Susan!

[@alantaylor9981]

I would recommend using ice packs small one a very good for this.

[@jamieocallaghan7931]

Could you drop one of the blue plastic ice packs in the tank for cooling ? Just a thought.

[@gigivaz8020]

Yay I’ve been waiting for more vids!!

[@viciousme90]

here in the USA depending where you live heaters are on all year round.

[@kynijava817]

That's because of your shitty poor insulated wooden houses

[@josephgex3843]

Never ran a heater in my room for the 2 years my tanks have been set up i have 6 fishtanks running keeps it about 76 degrees year around in the fish tank room i live in Mississippi ik thats a warm climate but im saying this because if you run enough equitment and tune it right then it can be done

[@azhari06]

i keep my 15gallon lps tank at 28-29'c for 1 year now, everything looks great

[@DannysAquariums]

Your corals will probably do even better when your water is a bit cooler though.

[@zafishguy5166]

Mine goes up to 84 to 85 degrees honestly fish can take that its the inverts that cannot. A cool trick I use is to freeze some rodi water and let it drip in throughout the day from a cup I poke a hole in. Of course this is for nano tanks in a 30 gallon or higher it won't help at all also freezing a few rodi ice cubes and cooling fans can help too. Worst case scenario is needing a chiller.

[@turtlecat7856]

I bought a water cooler on ebay. My tank is outside for my turtle Joy. It worked enough to Florida. Price is around $100. If you pay $500 you can get one stronger for hydroponics.

[@DannysAquariums]

I will look into that. Thanks!

[@wadey58]

Hi Danny, tanks looking great, how it the other tank doing with the 6-line wrasse?

[@karunanithik1593]

I prefer you to don't use ice packs This will give your fish a little jerking moments Because icepacks cooldowns only the surface of the tank Use regular water change and use double cooler fan This is the cheapest way

[@vlowtheshow5971]

Hey man awesome tank, was wondering where you got the lid from?

[@josephgex3843]

I dont even run a heater and mine stays near 76 to 77 because i have 6 tanks running in the room and all the equitment acts as my heater 😂

[@DannysAquariums]

Haha that's great!

[@eluroable]

I live in Mexico and i own 3 reef tanks, all of them reach 28-29 in the summer and i haven't had any problem at all, i have sps, lps and softies. Anyways, i try to keep them 26-27 with fans, i dont like them hot tho.

[@scott019870]

What light is that?

[@DannysAquariums]

The AIO kit came with the light, from Innovative Marine.

[@celblau5336]

No olvides agregar que hay que elegir bien el calentador, muchos, llegan a fallar ¿Cuántos acuaristas han perdido lotes enteros de peces por un calentador defectuoso?, a mi me paso 3 veces, ahora uso en mi pequeño acuario tropical un calentador de baquelita rellena con arena y una diminuta resistencia en un tubo de ensayo me costo en ese entonces 20 centavos de dólar, después de 10 años sigue funcionando, en cambio los chinos fallaron matando mis ejemplares, tampoco mencionas los mortales aterrizados, pues basta que al pelarse el cable toque el agua y al ser salada es muerte segura, hay que revisar el calentador siempre es lo primero y después los demás cables sumergidos, la corriente eléctrica es mortal si se mezcla con el agua salada, cuidado.

Perfect example of what global warming can do to coral reefs if we don’t act fast 😔

[@justinyang7904]

I use an aquarium chiller to keep my tank temperature stable at 25C.

[@DannysAquariums]

Awesome, that’s a great solution!

[@marcelrotterdam7937]

I used frozen osmose icecubs and put them in my sump

[@DannysAquariums]

Won't that cause the temperature to fluctuate a lot?

This is the REASON i cant have marine/reef tanks in my part of the world....it gets 107 °F and everything will die......cant use a fan cause it's of no use and humidity is 90 plus, So...only option is a chiller and it's Really expensive, more than all equipment combined. you people have the perfect climate.

Turning off the lights completely will not do any good for the corals. However, you can possibly change the light cycle to the cooler hours of the day. That may help a bit.

[@craigcoates7766]

Very incorrect information you can successfully keep reef ranks anything from 24 degrees to 29 done wild reefs are even warmer than this, it's not the high temperature that's the issue it's the swing in temperature that causes issues, poor knowledge of reef keeping and should not give advice based on that

[@DannysAquariums]

I said reef tanks do best between 24-26 degrees Celsius. I did not say it’s impossible to keep them warmer than that. Warmer can will cause problems.

[@craigcoates7766]

@@DannysAquariums are you aware of what temperature wild reefs are ? Also are you aware of the benefits of running a reef tank at 28-29 ? Could the please explain the issues of running at these temperatures

[@DannysAquariums]

In the video I mentioned the problems you can run into when the temperature gets higher. What’s happening to warmer wild reefs? Corals are bleaching.

[@Christian-sr6pd]

Craig Coates you realize that reefs differ in temperatures throughout the world right?

[@zion3335]

@@Christian-sr6pd no they dont.....tropical reefs may be at the tropics with high temperatures but they are at a very specific place in the sea.. the temp there remains constant between 22-28, its at a depth where its neither too hot or cold....corals are so much temp dependent that entire reefs get bleached out in a slight temperature variation. i know because in my part of the world reefs occur naturally but we cant keep marine tanks without adequate cooling cause corals will be stressed in high temp and expell their zooxanthellae and die... that's a FACT
