Hi there - I have a quick heater settings question. I recently added a heater to the tank; didn't realize I needed one initially. I have my heater set to 76 but the temp in the tank is showing close to 90 degrees. Is there a trick to the "right" heater temp setting that I'm just missing?
I've since dropped the heater setting to 74 and have seen the temp of the tank start to come down a little bit.
If nothing else, the fish are a lot more active now with the heater. To the touch (of my finger), the water doesn't seem to be "too warm" or what I would say is 90 degrees.
I tried a different thermometer as well, and same result.
Thoughts or help appreciated.
This is in my 29g tank.
Thanks!
