Hello,

What's a good average water temperature for a planted tank?? I've been
keeping mine between 74 and 79 degrees.. Is that too cool?? I've seen
others post average temps at or above 80... A partial list of my plants is
below:

Crypto wendtii (green and brown)
Crypto lucens
Dwarg sag
Hornwort
Anubias
Pennywort
Amazon swords
Vallisaneria

Thanks,
Troy

I keep my 5 tanks at 76 to 78 although one tank pushes 81 in the
summer. I have never figured out why it is different, but 81 seems ok
to the fish so far as I can tell.
