    Temp Swings

    Everything looks great in the tank. Its a $10 digital thermometer and I have the wire about halfway down inside the tank with the temp sensor on it. I'm also using LED's and not any kind of light that gives off heat.

    Temp Swings

    Ugh. So just when I thought everything was good at 79 Degrees, last night I thought things were a little warm, turned on my digital thermometer and it was at 86 degrees.

Sounds like I'm going to have to take some stuff out and try to remove that gravel filter. I'm going to the LFS again today and going to see what they have for long root...

I tried to get Aiptasia X or Joe's Juice but what the LFS had was a powdered (ill get you the name off the bottle when I get home). I mixed some of the powder and boiling water in the cap of the bottle, and didnt even have to...
