    I keep my tank at 80. It fluctuates about 2degrees +/- on hot(with an air conditioner)/cold days. In the winter sometimes it will go down to 77.

    Ok so I got my nitrates down to 10 finally. Also added two fans to my canopy and the temp has been staying at 77-78. Got a lot of brown diatom algae growing now also. Also did a 10% water change over weekend along with 35lbs of rock so total of 124lbs of LR. So what's next? Thinking about getting some crabs and snails and shrimp this weekend along with another 10% water change.
