I keep my tank at 80 degrees F. Are there plants I should avoid at that temp? Would the most common plants be happier at 78 or 79? Or does it really make that much of a difference?
 
aim for 77 farenheit (25C) good temp for fish as well, but for plants it doesnt really matter as long as there is no extremes, you will also save on electricity as the heater wont need to be on for as long. :good:
 
just to add to what nick said mosses will prefer cooler water


Thanks. All my planted tanks I had before were in places where 80 degrees was the LOWEST I could get the temp. So when I set up this last tank (in a much cooler environment) I didn't even think about it.
