So a month ago I got the Sunlight supply new wave t5s, their made for horticulture so they were way cheap. I made a little stand that held them dirctly over my tank. I had one of those cheap glass thermometer so I thought everything was good, before I had the t5s I only had a strip of 65watt pc, so temp was never a problem. Last time ordered from foster and smith I got the digital thermometer and then I noticed I was haveing huge temp swings that I hardly even noticed on the glass one, my tank would go from 87 with the lights on to 84 sometimes at night. So all I did was lift the lights up by building legs out of angled aluminum and added a little 12v computer fan and my tank has been a stable 79 for days now. I didn't even really notice I was having problems until it got better, because within days everything in my tank looks 200% better! The colors on my acro frags have intensified tremendously. It is amazing how fast everything is changing and growing. I wish I could find my camera charger so I could take pictures because I wanna see how fast everything is gonna grow now.
