RCS Temperature Question

[jmm197]

I am setting up a 10 gallon tank for RCS. I am finding that it is hard to keep my water below 82 degrees in this 10 gallon tank.

It is on the warmer side of the house and I live in south Georgia are the reasons for this.

Is this going to be a problem? Should I try moving the tank to a cooler spot?

Thanks!

Its a little warm, but I have kept cherries in that temp. How long are you leaving the lights on? Maybe reducing their time on, or staggering the photo period would help the tank to be cooler.

I have mine in an unheated tank. House temp keeps the tank at 74º.
