Get your tank temps down to near 21.11c . your risking root rot.

With those big cubes you won't see roots for awhile then water roots coming down.

maybe a silly question but how am i going to get the temp down... i havnt used a heater to warm the water up . as it gets real hot with out.. would a fan help get it down ? if not any ideas

we used the smallest A/C we can get. It's a 5000btu from slowes.
Something to bring your room temps down to bring your water temps down.

If that is not possible a water chiller for aquariums. Very costly.

Or you can freeze plastic soda bottles full of water and float them in your rez to bring temps down.

Rez temps are what we fight the most.
