correct water temp ?

[rkc772]

sorry i have to dissagree on the digital temprature gauges I had 3 that iI bought all at the same time all the same product all gave false readings they were the best marineland had $49.99 a peice guess where there are now? I use the lcd stick on the glass now , and have a automotive temp probe that i use to check the accuracy of the readings

sorry for the misunderstanding.... i was talking about the digital temp stick on which i think is the same was the small LCD digital temp not something too expensive... don't have the $$.

always shoot for 78, but i figure i'll give 80 a shot in the coming weeks. This thread now has me interested in how much of a change 2 degrees in temp will affect my fish.

it depends on the fish and your own preference imo. i have my arowana tank at 78-80ºF and my ray tank at 84-85ºF
