I've kept my tank between 80*F and 81*F. I'm wanting to bring it down
to
about 77*F. How long should it take with a room temperature of around
74*F
??...It's been 6 hours since I adjusted the heater and its still on the
warm
side.
Silly question but Thanks all the same....-ED


For 55-70g, three days, or a couple of degrees a day, while feathering
the heater(s) down. Smaller tanks change faster, bigger tanks slower.
Unplugging the heaters (and turning off the tank lights) makes it drop
faster, but not recommended. Take your time and let it drop slowly with
the heaters being adjusted down. Most of the change occurs overnight (no
heat from the lights and the ambient is a bit cooler).
