Supper quick question:

I'm cycleing my tank and my heater goes up to 34 degrees should I keep the water that hot or will it kill the bacteria??
(fishles cycle- lots of air in the tank and a lot of water movement)

Mid-eighties (29-30c) is ideal for bacterial growth. No need for it to be higher.

Hello Ban...

When I was growing the bacteria in my tank, the temperature stayed between 76 and 78 degrees. That's the temperature I wanted when I put in the fish.

What will happen if I keep it at 37c/93f? Will it be the same as keeping it at 30c/86f?
