temp swings

[supernareg]

for the 1 gal i set up.... over night it gets down to about 74ish... and at the end of the day when lights go out its right at 80.


is this super duper bad for zoos/ xenia?? gladly the hermit made it, seems happy no probs.

i'm thinkin over the crazy winter nights, i'll put a cover on it before i goto bed and take it off in the morning.

How about adjust the heater to 79?? Wouldn't that easier??

no heater

Dude, get a heater. What's going to happen when it get's to 60 in the winter? Plus it's cheaper to heat just the tank than heating the whole house.

its a 1 gallon, when winter comes i'ma put a cover on the tank over night, and the powerhead will help keep it warm.

???!!!

Then you'll still get the temp swings if you want to do it that way.

You'll need a heater if you want stability.
