whats your temp on your ray tanks?

[wednesday13]

Surprised everyones so high... i keep all my ray systems at 74-76° in winter... they jump up to 76-78° in the summer from time to time. Ive found 72° slows digestion a bit so thats my cutoff. i have in house newborns to adults also at 74° no prob.

I would keep my temp as low as yours if i didnt have other tankmates that require higher temps.

I think that thats why a lot of guys have higher temps

Totally agree. Arowanas and geos are a must for me. The garage doesn't get too cold because the heated drip, insulation, drywall etc.. But the summer it gets hot and there isn't much but cold water to cool it off so I prefer running warm.

I also have a mixer valve that feeds my tanks, but its only used for water changes to avoid swings in temp. The tanks are then warmed with heat exchangers linked to the boiler with two thermostats. I keep them at about 80, or 26.5C.

I would drip warm if my water heater was efficent enough..... dripping cold now. Idk which one would be more cost effective in my case......since it would vary per person.

If I had just rays I would probably keep it around 78, but since I have discus that's why I keep it higher... when I had discus only tanks I used to keep it at 88
