    How do you guys regulate temperature in your tanks? My tank usually fluctuates a few degrees during the day, never out of suggessted range, but it does fluctuate.

    When your lights go on it will always rise, when your light goes off it declines, but you knew that, hehe...
    Without knowing how intense you lighting is,,,,
    What i do is set my heater 1 degree below at the hottest point of the day preventing it to swing big...
    Hope this helps...

    mine fluctuares a degree or two. it goes to about 79 during the day, and about 77 at night. i try to keep the room temperature the a little lower than the water temp, so the heaters can regulate the temp instead of the room and the lights.
