Q+A Temperature Problems
Temperature Problems
Hi, I'm a subscriber to your magazine and new to the hobby.
I have real difficulty in keeping a stable temperature I mean it can swing
from 23oc to 27oc, everything is fine In my tank. Is this a major problem
and is there anything I can do to keep it more stable , I've tried turning
my heater down, put my central heating higher and lower , I'm lost at what
else to do?
Hello Ben
Good to see new people taking up the hobby; hope you are enjoying it so far.

Q+A - Algae - fighting fire with fire
“I am told that I can fight bad algae by introducing good algae via a refugium/sump ... but how much do I need? For example, if I was to add cheato to my sump and light it in reverse to my display tank, would this work and how do I know how much cheato I need to buy? Thanks, Sean Richards, Somerset.”
Dear Sean
Reading between the lines I am going to make the assumption that you are asking a direct question about this particular form of algae control because you are struggling with keeping the amount of algae to an acceptable level.
