What Temperature for TBS

[kp1917]

Hey all,

As I am waiting for shipment #1, what temperature should I have my aquarium set at?

The powerheads are on, what else can I fiddle with until it gets here.

Hey KP,

I kept mine kinda low, 78.

Kool, I saw that landlord keeps his at about 82. I would rather keep it warm so in the summer I don't have to worry about overheating. We don't have air conditioning in houses up here.

70-75 is perfect!
Thanks

My tank is still sitting at 81. I have had very little die off. I have some really hot lights so I also have 2x 7 inch clip on desk fans blowing the surface of the water. I do not use a glass top either. The room with the tank get pretty warm so I also have to leave the ceiling fan on to keep the air moving.

It's like a sweat house here in Florida so if you could send me some o'that cold Alaska goodness my tank would love you for it!

Good Luck and Have Fun!

So as low as 70 from Richard to as high as 81 from Landlord, and everything inbetween. Hey thanks for clearing up that mystery for me fellas!
