so with the pump running 15/15 it brought the res temps down to 80 deg.

I understand the whole heat pad and cloner thing but that's for soil and with hydro don't you want cooler water for better oxygen holding capabilities ??

BTW I also have a small air stone in the res to help with the hole oxygen thing....so that being said with all the temp things 80 deg MAY be just fine ??

so are you saying that just water and superthrive will make it run cooler ??

all in all things are looking fine just trying to see if I can better things allong.
