Donny@ageofaquariums Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 Increase water surface agitation, at 30 deg C the water will have trouble holding oxygen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottavius Posted November 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 thx for ur help guys, heaters are offline and the spray bars are making torrents on the waters surface I've opened the lids, shut down one of the lights and have added 2 airstones to the tank to see if that helps, i will continue to monitor the tank and see what happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
