Temperature in a planted tank
Hello everyone...
got a simple questions... what temp (range) would be the optimal for a
planted tank with high lighting ~ 3.6 watts/gallon, with CO2, 66 gallon tall
tank (2 feet high)
right now it's at 82/28 for the last 1.5 years and my plants are growing
nicely... (acutally i keep the water at this temp because my hands/arms feel
more confortable in this temp when I'm aquascaping...i know .. i know)
there's some bolivian rams, rainbowfish,sae's octo's in there..
would plants grow better/faster in slightly lower temp? or should i keep it
at this temp following the rule of 'if it's not broken don't fix it' and
don't play around with the temp?
acutally this is a serious question...
maybe plants wil benefit from cooler water .. i think something to do with
cooler water being able to hold more oxygen?
Thank You
Raymond Wong
