Hi Guys,

I'm in Darwin and generally my tanks are always 30-31. what would be a max temp?

[Hollowman]

Discus will take higher temps for shorter periods of time, but I wouldn't want to go much higher than 31 for long periods of time. :)

HAVE HAD THEM AT 32 FOR BOUT 8 MONTHS (BAD THERMOMETER)

My planted discus tank is set at 28 degrees.

I am aiming for 28-28.5. Im trying to keep everyone in the tank as happy as possible (Except the BGA).

Today is particularly hot here in Darwin and my tank is sitting at 31.9 on my digital thermometer(do these need calibration if you haven't used them in a while) I was considering getting a chiller to maintain at 30, any ideas about this? During the dry season which is nearly upon us the tank will sit comfortably at 28-29 but in the wet temps are unpredictable

should be fine, i wouldn\t chill a discus tank, just leave the lids slightly a jar and keep up the airation.
