Serene Scene Marine Aquarium

No, every real cold/cool water system must face trouble without cooling. Dont rely on floating "ice bags, jugs" to keep system temperature sufficiently cool. Buy or build a chiller.

I have seen (and even written, a zillion years ago) how-to articles on building your own chiller; some authors showing how to retrofit a "water-cooler" compression unit, others ut

Some water gardeners continue to feed their fish until they no longer come to the surface. I stop feeding my pond fish when the water falls below 42 F.
There is no need to worry about "frozen fish" if a section of the pond is at least 18 inches deep. Pond fish will seek the deepest part of the pond and over-winter there until the water warms in the spring. If your pond is less than 18 inches deep, the fish may freeze during a harsh winter.

Placement of chillers is critical; they should be where you can reach them for cleaning and checking, but also positioned for thorough ventilation and no water contact/splashing.

Each fish also limits the growth of the other fish by secreting growth-limiting hormones (GLH) into the water, which explains why some fish grow more rapidly than others.

Unfortunately, if a tank is overcrowded, fish that grow large in the wild will become deformed, as bone growth often exceeds muscle growth when oxygen levels arent high enough. Other fish are simply crowded out and die "mysteriously." This happens frequently in saltwater aquariums that are overstocked
