Yes! I'm also in the Bay Area and there was one day that my betta tank was hovering in the high 80's and I was freaking out. I also put a frozen water bottles into my tank and it helped so much.
I’m glad you got it worked out! How stressful! I can relate. My air conditioner went out for a couple days last summer. To cool my animal/fish room, I bought one of those portable ac units that has an exhaust hose that you put in the window. Thankfully all my fish and reptiles are tropical and contained to one room. I ended up putting an air mattress in the animal/fish room and slept in there though, because the rest of the house was unbearable. Those portable ac units are expensive. It took me almost a year to pay off.
Thank you for this video. Its been in the 90s here , my air condition had few issues and you help me with some common sence things to do for my 2 pet turtles. Thank you.
You got suckered into a new AC unit! Most likely the start run capacitor control both fan motors and it went out. This is a $25/$50 part that get home owner sucker into a new AC unit.
Thank you for sharing this video.. It's 113 here today and all we have is a portable ac. My tank is up to almost 90 and I really didn't know what to do.
I live in the east bay and went through the same thing, except I have no AC. Thankfully my tank temps only raised to the 80’s. I’m definitely using the frozen water bottle method if it happens again. Thank you
It's constantly 115°+ during the summer where I live so the tank I have outside (no space inside) is constantly going to 95 during the day so i really need to cool the hell out of it
Thanks! I have the tank lid open and a fan raised on a table and trained on the surface of the water. all lights off. IT'S 90 here in London and my elderly 2 goldfish hooligans say thank you.
