I have a 24 gallon Nanocube that I have had for 4 days with cured LR from my 12 gallon. When I came home today from the lake, My temp was 85 maybe more so I added some ice bags until it was around 81. Brown algae everywhere.( I use Tap water with AquaVitro). Fish were looking bad. My watchman goby looking SKINNY, am I supposed to hand feed?. My params were PERFECT when I left friday. I have my lights on a timer. Do I need a chiller or fan?

Params:
Ammonia-0
NitrAtes-0
NitrItes-0
PH-7.4! I added Kent marine superbuffer.
SG-1.021

Thanks, Jake

I took the hood off mine and aimed the powerheads to disrupt the water surface to add to the cooling effect. No dramas with heat since

You do need to make sure your watchman goby is eating if he looks skinny. I feed mine using a feeding stick and he usually gets what the other fish miss.
