Damn heating problems (freshwater).

[Gary]

Hello all,

I have the Jewul Rekord 96 which uses its own filter and heater. The damn
thing wont drop below 78.5 , is this ok for a community aquarium? I thought
72 - 76 was better, will the extra heat cause issues?

You should be OK The extra heat might be caused by the light. Do you
leave the light on for extemded periods of time? HTH

Yeah, good point - both thermometers are close to the light. Thanks for the
tip!

I have a 29 gallon Jebo aquarium for close to two years and even with
a 73 degree room temperature the Jebo stays around 78, in the summer
with room temp at 77 it stays around 81. The light hood is a tight
fit, and the filter motor is in the water. Otherwise all has been
well. In fact it has been the clearest and problem free of my tanks.
