Re: New member from New Jersey, it’s hot in here
I'm in Mississippi and it's consistently been in the 90's here and it is very hot in the fish room even with the exhaust fan. My tanks are all 82 to 84. I don't know why yours is so high. Could you have a heater with a broken thermostat? Don't worry about temps in the 90's with Discus, though. They can take it just fine.

BLUF, if your tank temp is higher than ambient room temp (and you are not using a halogen or incandescent bulb to light the tank) and higher than your heater temp then either the heater controller or the tank thermometer is broken. Although discus can tolerate temps above 90, the O2 saturation will drop as temps go up and your fish are in a small tank. Is your tank heater on when the temp is in the 90s and the heater is set to 82?

What brand heater do you have? I would suspect either the heater is malfunctioning or the thermostat is not accurate.

Re: New member from New Jersey, it’s hot in here
Hi Iminit,
To answer your question, the 65 gallon aquarium has currently 2 brittle nose pleco and servuram cichlid. That will be moved to another aquarium. I have my 65 in my living room, which will be my display tank. The 65 has been set up close to a year; I just push the button on my purchase of discus. To be honest, I was afraid to buy them because of all the negative stuff about them such as being very dainty, water changes and temperature . So, far I have not had any problems with them beside regulating the temperature.

Only thing left is pictures . Warm clean water and lots of food. How big are they? What are you feeding. The plecos should be alright.
