I'm having a hard time regulating the temp of my tank.

Seems rather simple, but giving me fits.....

Heater in the sump...set to temp, and forget it....

Nope....temp keeps edging up....

This a.m. after the lights had been off all night...and the temp was up.

Is there a chemical exotherm or something i'm missing?

Help please.

I've had trouble with heaters in the past being hit or miss as far as keeping an accurate temp. What type of Heater are you using ?.. I'm using a controller for my lights now so my heter is hooked into it. It's much more accuarate at regulating temp that way, but very expensive just for your temp. problem, if you were looking to control your lights or powerheads for wavemaking....I'd say go that route.
