While I'm waiting for my tank to cycle... I've noticed that the cheap heater than came with my tank setup isn't the best in the world. I've been messing with it for the last week or so. At the "78" setting, I noticed it kept the tank at about 76. When I turn it up one notch, the temp stays at about 81. I can't seem to get it in between. Probably the best solution would be to buy a better heater, but I don't want to do that just yet unless it is necessary. So which is better, slighly cooler than my fish will prefer, or slightly warmer? (see my sig for the fish I plan to keep)
This just dawned on me as I was typing this. My thermometer is the cheap, stick on the outside of the glass type, so external temperature could be influencing the reading somewhat. Should I go with an internal thermometer, or am I just obsessing?
