Every summer aquarians face a big problem – need of cooling of water for an aquarium. The problem arises not only because water temperature becomes uncomfortable for fishes, but also because in water the oxygen content, along with growth of the contents of carbon dioxide falls. Ways to cope with a letney heat exists a little.
It is required to you
- - thermometer for water;
- - plastic bottle with water;
- - fan;
- - chiller
Instruction
1. Buy the conditioner to the apartment. This way will allow to make comfortable life not only to fishes in an aquarium, but also to other inhabitants of the house. From shortcomings of this way It should be noted the high cost, drying of air and not mobility of the device. If you have several aquariums placed in different places of the apartment you will not be able to install the conditioner over everyone.
2. Buy the special fridge for aquarian water. It is called the chiller. Chillers were available for sale recently. Their emergence is connected with the fact that aquariums are more often equipped with new electric devices, like filters, lighting, pumps. These, undoubtedly, useful devices can heat up and increase water temperature considerably. The main lack of the chiller – its cost. Minimum price - 500 US dollars.
3. Cool water in an aquarium by means of bottles with the frozen water. Pour water in a usual plastic bottle and put it in the fridge. When water freezes, the bottle can be lowered directly in an aquarium. You watch that in the fridge there were always full bottles on change as it is necessary to change them quite often.
4. Try to cool water in an aquarium by means of the strengthened evaporation. For this purpose you need the fan. Direct a strong current of air to a water surface. Air flow has to be such force that on water the easy ripples were formed. Cut through in an aquarium cover two an opening in the different ends. Their sizes have to correspond to the size of fans. Close openings a small grid that fishes could not jump out. Mount fans over an opening so that air flow got on water at an angle to 45 degrees. It considerably will accelerate evaporation, and temperature in an aquarium will go down.
