How cold can an aquarium chillers get?
The chiller is relatively quiet with a 50-dB sound level. The range for user-set temperature is 39°F to 90°F (3°C to 32°C).
Is a aquarium chiller worth it?
Yes. As it is cited already, marine fish live in very specific conditions where the temperature, pH and hardness change much less than in freshwater environments. Any dramatic and abrupt change may affect marine fishes, and thus they can even die. So yes, a cooler is very important for a marine aquarium!
Do I need a chiller for my freshwater aquarium?
Most aquarium keepers, particularly most beginning aquarium keepers, do not have any need for a chiller. Aquarium chillers really are for more advanced aquarium systems. Chillers are generally designed for larger aquariums.
Is it OK to put ice cubes in a fish tank?
Avoid putting ice cubes directly into your aquarium unless you make them with reverse osmosis or dechlorinated water. Perform small partial water changes with slightly cooler water, making sure not to drop the temperature of your aquarium too rapidly.
How hot is too hot for a fish tank?
If the water temperature in your tank gets higher than 90°F(32°C), your fish may be in danger of dying. Their inability to get sufficient oxygen from the water they live in causes death by suffocation.
How can I make my fish tank colder?
Float a bag of ice or cold water in the fish tank to gently lower the water temperature. (Take care not to lower the temperature more than 2 or 3 degrees F in a 4-hour period.) Avoid putting ice cubes directly into your aquarium unless you make them with reverse osmosis or dechlorinated water.
