We took our ac out a few weeks ago for the winter, but we've had a "indian summer" and now the room temp is getting up around 80, which I don't know how because it hasn't been more then 60 or 70 outside. This temp is perfect for my tropical and reef tanks because the heaters never run, but I'm worried about our goldfish tank. Its been 80 for 2-3 days, and I've been trying everything I can think of to cool it down. I've tried bottles of Ice, leaving the tops open (only when I'm around, I lost a clown due to an open top and I'm not losing these guys), fans, but it stays at 78-80 (I've tried 3 different thermometers).
My biggest concern is how it will affect the goldfish, they seem fine now, but will this harm them in any way, or am I worrying too much? The warm spell won't be over until monday and the ac is in storage and it gets cold outside at night (not in the apartment, lol), so I'd like to avoid putting it back in, but if I need to put it back I will. Thanks for any help
