What temp. do you keep???

[dav]

Just wondering - what do you keep you temp. at & is it o.k. to vary within 2 degrees when the lights are on??:notsure:

ya that should not be a problem.
My temp is at 79 degrees farenheight.

Mine is 80-82 that's why I was wondering.

I keep mine at 78-79. 82F is ok, but might be a bit on the warm side, and if it were to raise a little bit for some reason, you might have some problems. I run a 175w MH on my 30g canopy, and dont run any fans at all.
Why is your tank running so hot?

Heater set at 80 but when lights on all day it goes to 82.

Mine stays at 79. On a hot day it might creep up to 80.

82 to 84, but only because i have no heater to turn down :nope:
stability is more importatnt, and 2 degrees is not a bad fluctuation from night to day.
IMO, anything 78- 84 in most cases, however what is more important is definitely stability coupled with the inhabitants. Some species had cooler needs and some warmer. The catalina goby is a good example, 68 is the only way you can even attempt to keep them for any amount of time.
