I have had my tank setup for about 2 months and I need to move it down stairs due to the fact that it is getting to much sun light and I can't get the temp below 80-84 (which I think is why most my stuff is dying and my alge is out of control). I have added a black sheet around the tank during the day to try and cut down the sun light but it doesn't seem to help. So my question is two fold one when I move the tank should a try and keep the water (which was tap water but have done three 10% water changes with DI water plus top offs with DI) or start over with all DI water. If I should keep the water I'm thinking of using another 55gl tank I have to hold most of it (and all the life) while I move and resetup the tank in the basment. Any thoughs welcome.
