Do you think that Corydoras will be Ok for 3 weeks in a temperature raging from 18-21 deg.cel.?.

18 is a bit low, but most corydoras should be fine in the upper values of said range.

To see how celsius relates to degrees & other tank info., just go to the main page & on the left it says ," Quick Links." Click calculators.

Thanks alot. I'll wait a few more days, so i can switch off the heaters safely. Usually it's 20 Deg.Cel. but i think at night it will fall by 2 deg.

In summer i always switch off the heaters & clean them. I also take them out of the tanks for all the summer & place them back in the boxes & start them again in October. Here we have a hot summer & we need to cool the tanks on the hottest days.

I was thinking of starting the procedure a bit earlier than usuall, as i have some days off work but the temperature hasn't settled yet & so i have to postpone it.
