The colder the water, the more dissolved oxygen it can hold. Water temps in the range of 58-65 degrees Fahrenheit hold a greater amount of DO than temps in the 70's. If you can afford one, a reservoir chiller can be had to reduce temps to the lower range. Some people have had moderate success with using frozen bottles of water to cool their tanks, but this can be rather materially and time intensive versus a chiller.
