Default is such temperature ok?

with such a temperature throughout the day, is it good for my CRS?

switch on room aircon
around 8am - 27 degrees
12 noon -23 degrees
6pm -20 degrees

not sure wat time the aircon is off but around 10pm, the aircon confirm will be off.
night time temperature not very sure... and the cycle continues daily...

Yup. Installed a chiller for the tank and so far so good. Even during weekends or public holidays I got no worries.

You can get a fan and use timer to turn on the fan during the time when air con is off.
My office air con turns off at 7pm and starts 7am. I set my fan to turn on at 8pm (cos the room would still be cool for awhile before temperature increases) till 7am.

i personally wouldn't prefer such temperature fluctuations for pets. imagine your boss making you stay in an air-con room and changing the temperature like that. you'll feel the shrimps' pain too.

Existing shrimps should be ok, but they may not breed well.
