The heat in the summer is a test not only for your pets, but for yourself. When the thermometers in the aquariums go off for 30 degrees, you begin to convulsively add cold water, chop the pieces of ice into the aquarium, etc., in general, who is on that much. Of course, anyone who has money can buy coolers and install them in an aquarium, but for many it is very expensive. Well, when in this period of heat you are at home, i.e. Did not go anywhere for various reasons. Then you can control the water temperature and cool it in time. But what about those who are leaving at the dacha in this very period of time.
We will propose a very practical and proven way for us personally. Everyone remembers the past summer - July month. We will not be seers if we say directly that many of these people died suddenly in this period of certain species of fish in aquariums.
Everyone knows from the school curriculum that water evaporates during evaporation. How to achieve this evaporation. Very simple. In that period, when you leave and on the street there is unbearable heat, just leave your aquariums open, i.e. Remove coverslips or aquarium covers. It is tested and tested. Working.
For example, let's return again to the last summer. The experiment was carried out at 4 aquariums. In three of them, the covers were removed and the temperature in them was checked after a week, in a closed, tightly closed room (without an air conditioner naturally), and just leaving for summer cottages they close the apartment tightly, i.e. And windows and windows (imagine what a gas stove in an apartment, if the air temperature on the street is 30 degrees or higher, and if the last floor and the roof are already heated), so the temperature in these three aquariums was 29-30 degrees, which is permissible for most fish for a short time . In an aquarium in which the lid was not removed the thermometer showed a temperature of 35 degrees - what was with the fish? Naturally they swam, but swam upward with a belly, i.e. Welded, it was necessary only to add potatoes and salt (black humor, sorry).
So it seems that such an elementary thing, like the removed cover of the aquarium, but saved from imminent death fish population of three aquariums. Of course, one should not forget that aeration on such hot days should work 100% and 24 hours a day.
