Hey everyone
I own a 55 gallon tank. That is now home it about 9 tropical fish of a very diverse species. Everything is going great. However I have one concern about they tank. I have hand smaller tanks in the past form 5-20 gallon. This is my first large style tank. The tank temp is at 76 degrees (with a 200 watt heater)on the mark. Through out the entire tank. I have a digital thermometer and moved it all around in each corner for 3 minutes a time. However all the fish seem to prefer the right side of the tank. I split the tank in half and put the heater as close to dead center as I could by if favors then right side by about inch to inch and half. My though it do I need to get another smaller heater like a 100watt. Any ideas below would be great thank you.
