    My tanks water tempretures is a bit on the high side. I have already unplugged all my heaters from the tanks about a month ago some more than a month. I saw today that my 280lt tanks temp is 30 degrees at about mid day.
    In the late afternoons/mornings it is about 26/27 degrees and that is fine but .......................

    My question is will this regular change of tempreture affect my fish? It doesnt seem to bother them much but should I be worried for some reason?

    A slight increase in your aeration rates will help keep it more constant, but no need for concern in those ranges.....

    I have installed two 220v fans to help keep the temp down, last year my temp was getting up to about 30 to 33, this year so far my tank hasn't risen above 29. The fans were like R200 odd for the two, and because they were 220v I didn't need to have a transformer. They are linked to my lights so that they only come on when the lights on on
