Default Smaller tanks overheating in summer?

Clinton, the comment that Bryan was making was referring to the scale that the temperature was being measured in.

Mason, as well as yourself, mentioned the temperature in Degrees Celsius (C) when it should have been expressed in Degrees Fahrenheit (F). 81F would be equivalent to about 26C. If your tank did indeed reach 81C, you would only be 19C short of the boiling point of water, and your livestock would most certainly be "cooked". :eek:

Just a simple error of scale, but important that we all use the correct terminology. [img]smile.gif[/img]
