Thing that has me confused is that 89 degrees, while warm, shouldn't be bad, unless it was a sudden swing. I'd be more concerned about a sudden change. Can you run a fan on the water surface? Evaporation will help cool the water.
What is 89 degrees ... about 31 degrees C? 32 maybe? I'm sure I've had my tank warmer than that in the heat of July in the days before I had A/C and I never saw rapid breathing of the fish, so I'm not sure if it's the temperature that's freaking them out here... Sounds like they're in distress though.. Is there anything that could be affecting O2 in the tank? I'm not sure what to suggest other than lights-out and maybe a water change or something and the fan on the water surface.. Good luck.

Maybe an air bubbler in the tank ... I really think there's an O2 issue here.

What else is on the controller that may have malfunctioned? This sounds like more than temperature to me also...

I agree, get that water movement going and a fan blowing across the surface. Hope all will be well.

craptaculous. friend doesn't sound very friendly. are you doing anything to keep the powerheads up? like a hang on clip orsomething? Id imagine it wouldn't be too hard if you have wire coat hangers or something.

Hey I just tuned into your thread. I live in Calgary and if tonight you need to borrow some power heads or air pump and stone pm me. I really think its lack of 02 also.
