Realistically, how sensitive are they to temp? Not looking to keep it in the display long term, but obviously I don't want the poor guy to expire under my care. Not to be pretentious but not looking for new guy care sheet regurgitation, has anyone had them do ok in 77F-ish temps?

Figured I would make a thread about my fishing over the Summer and keep up with it every time I go fishing which will hopefully be a few times a week. I am going to be fishing mainly out of some backwoods ponds, Lake Murray, and a few rivers around the area. I just wanted a way to keep up with my fish that I catch week to week and thought some people might enjoy peeking in every now and then to see what I have been reeling in. I will be doing catch and release for the most part unless we are catching fish for a fish fry or something like that. Feel free to post your catches to as its always fun to see what everyone is catching. (Take a peek on Google Earth or Images at Lake Murray its pretty nice). Edit: I will get better pictures in future and ones without lure. The person in picture is my buddy Spencer who wanted to have a picture with my fish and hates holding them.

Well, I'm not a chemist but many people, including me, put salt in our freshwater tanks. I know the salt amount isn't very much but will the salt affect water testing kits that are for saltwater and the one's for freshwater? The salt isn't much so I think using the freshwater is still okay.

It is a 270 wide (72x36x24). I was looking to get a single 72" led fixture, but might have to settle with 2x 36". All the led fixtures I have bought before for my other tanks have been beamswork from aquatraders.
