trixie Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 (edited) In my friends tank all his plants were almost dead he raised the temperture to 85 and his plant started to grow why ?. Edited February 22, 2006 by trixie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvision Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 (edited) That's odd. IME, and from what I've heard, plants actually do betther in cooler TROPICAL tanks - ie temps. in the low to mid 70s. Maybe it's the whole "cold feet" thing. Plants don't really like to have their roots too cool - which is why Dupla is so big on heating cables.

Milan Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 In tropical tanks most people shoot for 24-26C (75-79F). 85F (29C) seems to be on the high side. What was the temperature before he raised it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
