kl3ggy Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Hey guys. Recently my tank of new cichlids the water temp has raised to the hi 29's low 30's. So I ordered myself a Resun CL-280. Got it for $180 brand new, delivered so I was stoked. Anywho, now that I can actually set the temp, what temp should it be?I have:1 x Jack Dempsey1 x Firemouth2 x Green Texas1 x Rivulatus 1 x Something starting with S2 x Orange Spotted Bristlenose catfishAny suggestions appreciated.

Link2Hell Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 22-24*C would be fine for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joller Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 don't know much about the orangespot or the s fish but the cichlids will be fine at 26-28dg and that way it will consume less power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killiguy Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Lower temps reduces aggression so Id be setting at 22-24Discus,Rams and Cardinal tetras need 28+but very few others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krellious Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Main thing is kereping a constant temp. Anywhere between 22-28 will be fine, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gombe Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 set it at 26 for summer then slowly take it down to 22-24 in winter, try use less electricity while maintaining constant temp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
