S.g.

Water temp= 82-84℉, Salinity 1.023-1.024, PH 8.2-8.3, Nitrite 0, ALK 3.6 Milli equaivalents per liter which is about 10.08 dhk.
Is this safe for Inverts at this temperature and water parameters? Shrimps, Anemones, etc.

 

yes!!! but it still on the high temperature side no room for getting any warmer than that

 

yes it is if you acclimate them slowly but i would try to get your temp to 80-82

 

I guess I've tried the methods I knew.. I still think it is my canister filter which has a water-cooled motor in it which raises the temp so high.. And ideas what I can do about it?

** Room temp is very cool.. I tried placing the fan on the canister filter, nothing changed.. I dropped couple of ice cubes in there when there was no fish inside..it did lower the temp a bit.. I dunno what else to do.... haha i cant float ice bags in there 24/7 :d

 

TX dawn.. but isn't my S.G abit high for this temp as i read the salinity is read different when the temp is higher or lower?

 

have you tried pointing the fan directly at the water? what type of lighting do you have?

 

Nope i figured i would have major top offs everday if i point the fan directly at the water.. the temp present is with the light off.. and yes my lighting gets hot if i turn it on but no worries for that im replacing it soon hopefully.

 

it is higher at lower colder temperatures, but all we are trying to do it imitate nsw, your salinity is fine, mine some times been as high as 1.027 s_gravity and 35 to 36ppm.
which is a tad high, but what you need to avoid is getting it too low like 1.018 or less.
oh yeah you are in good shape there!


And about the ice make sure that it is made with ro water or inside a plastic container....

 

tx.. hehe i don make the ice cubes here at home myslef.. but i added alil water conditioner just to make sure even if it was regular tap water.

uhh went to lfs spent another 90 bux n came out on lighting n couple of snails..haha cant get enough of the candy shop :dd
