Re: Hot Water

removing the glass top will help tremendosly. my tank temp has been running 80 to 81 degrees. but, my water has been evaporating like crazy so i put the glass top on it last night to slow down evaporation. i came home from work today and the tank temp was 84.5 degrees! yikes! i removed the top and within an hour it was down to 82. now it's back down to 81. i guess i will just have to put up with the mad evaporation thats going on now. i hate summer.
