    Temperature

    It really depends on what plants and fish you are going to keep. If you do some research on what you will keep you might identify that some may not suit others and as such you will need to adapt your stocking list until it suits what your after. There is no ideal temp to suit all tanks Hope...

    Fluval Plant 3.0 getting really hot

    depending on where you purchased it i would be taking it to them and seeing if they can replace under warranty, at least then if there is an issue there is a log of you bringing it to their attention sooner rather than later (emails work well as there is no disputing it happened) some places...
