 | Lowering the Temp |
olmstead Small Fry Posts: 9 Kudos: 10 Votes: 0 Registered: 05-Jan-2005 | What is the best way to go about doing this? I am currently at 82 and want to get it around 77. This morning before I left I moved it just a tiny tiny bit down. Should I keep at this for a week? What is the best way to do this without stressing out any of the fish? |

Do it morning and evening  . It's best not to swing more than 2-3 degrees in a 24 hour period.^_^ [hr width='40%'] It only hurts when I breathe"  |
