wilsontantw Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Try to keep constant within 1 degree Celsius if you can.. It's highly recommended to keep temp as constant as possible. That said, 26-28 is considered acceptable in most cases. Is there any issue with your current temp settings? Quote decommissioned 2.5x2x2 Videos: | | Your mind is like a parachute.

wilsontantw Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I'm keeping mine at 26-27. Am thinking of lowering to 25.5 - 26.5. Quote decommissioned 2.5x2x2 Videos: | | Your mind is like a parachute. It only works when it is open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terryz_ Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Actually 26-27 is very acceptable... But for fishes, the colors will be brighter if the temperature is lower, From my Experience... Quote Member of: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
