Aquarium Advice Regular
Adcisco,
you can get higher temp if you cover sides and back of tank with insulation. Best is thin styrofoam, or anything like that. Hold with tape. Just insulate so heat does not escape. Keep your top covered. Lights on all the time. Lights also produce some heat. If yo have second heater of course than you have no problem. Smaller heater max and regulate with bigger. You can get higher than 86 that way.
