too much heat!!

Postby jaypython on Fri Sep 02, 2005 4:29 pm

has anyone ever had there water heated up too much with the use of just 2 external filters??

equipment is as follows;

64g tank (uk gals)

fluval 404 canister.
fluval 204 canister.
no heater!

82 degrees water temp.
76 degrees room temp.

no direct sunlight.
no radiator next to tank.

would anyone suggest a chiller or equipment re-think??
