Whats your ideal water temperature poll

[drodgers]

Just a bit curious if we keep our waters all in the same area.

Could do with one for over 27

I'm running between 27.7 & 27.9. The high temp is to keep my discus happy, but not too high that it starts affecting everything else in the tank.

Depends on the fish, obviously. I always err on the low side though.

Thermostat set at 22c but often will be 24-25C.

I have an African Cichlid tank thats on the warm side too.
What kind of plants do you have? do you find the higher temps cause leggy growth?

mine too I prefer cooler but the t5's keep it warm.

I target 24C but due to the heat trap that is my house, for most of the year I can achieve that without any heating. Last night was getting a bit better, recording an air temperature low of 20C.

My wife just asked me why its so cold in the house "I lowered the temperature to try and cool my tanks"
I told her she can cuddle more and was good with it
Running a fan on the surface water can help if you want cooler .

I have quite a few different echinodorus, java fern & MC. Everything seems fine up to now though.
