not a problem. on the colder days my water temp is about there. but if u still worried, can add the heater. set about 28-30 deg.

If they are sick, it's recommended to put heater to 32C with treatment.

People who quarantine the new discus also go through the process..

You can on your heater when u turn on your aircon. Set the temp to be 28degC.

In the morning when the aircon is turned off, unplug the heater and let the water slowly come back to room temp.

Hope this helps.

I think it is best to move the tank out of your aircon room, below are the benefits

1) save electricity by not using heater
2) save aircon too, cos the aircon will use energy to try to cool the tank, which will try to heat up due to the aircon
3) water will smell after some time, if u do not change water, so your room will smell
4) isnt it noisy to have a bubbling in the room?
