I've been watching my tank temperature climb during the recent week of high
temperatures in Brisbane (some relief in last few days with a rainy spell). Up to
31C. How hot is too hot ? I guess it depends on the species. What temperature
extremes do rainbows endure in the wild .... I would have thought species coming
from New Guinea lakes would have some relief from a fair degree of thermal
buffering capacity from the deeper water volumes.

is there anything practically one can do about the heat besides the costly
solutions of chillers or air-conditioning the room (save the spouse too !?). I've
been eyeing off an old bar fridge you see ....
