4 Expert Tips for Summer Aquarium Care
Control Water Temperature
Rising room temperatures can stress your livestock and reduce oxygen levels. Use a cooling fan, avoid direct sunlight, and monitor your tank daily to keep temperatures stable.
Maintain Water Quality
Higher temperatures accelerate algae and waste buildup. Stick to a strict maintenance schedule: regular water changes, substrate cleaning, and filter checks are key to balance.
Adjust Lighting
Summer daylight combined with your aquarium lighting can trigger algae blooms. Reduce photoperiods slightly, or use dimmable LEDs to maintain healthy lighting levels.
Add Seasonal Highlights
Reflect the energy of the season with vibrant hardscape and contrasting botanical elements. Use warm stones and coloured accents to echo summer’s natural drama.
