It's spring in Texas and the temperatures have gone very high. My
aquarium temperature is between 82 and 84 degrees F. I try to keep my
aquarium at 78. In fact, my air conditioner is set at 78. Does anyone
have suggestions as to how to keep the temperature down in my
aquarium. I don't want to boil my fish.

Evaporation cools very well. Prop the canopy open or even run a small
fan blowing over the surface of the water. If you air temp is only 78F,
your lights are probably warming the tank. You can raise them higher
above the water surface or install fans in your canopy.

I wouldn't worry too much as long as your fish are showing no signs of
distress. I have similar summer temperatures and my fish do fine as
long as there is plenty of oxygen. I start airstones in all my tanks
when temps get above 80F. If you don't like airstones, you can lower
the water level a bit to get surface splash from your fiter.
