It's not that hot in your home is it? ..........yep but i think its the tank lights.. have reduced to 6hrs now
Turn the heater down. its not plugged in

My tank used to be 30c but that was when my lights were on 10hrs +
Now i have reduced to 6 hours of light. My temp is 27.5c

Only have two plecs, and one is small.. you could be right but i have never seen them on the swords.
Yes it it, i have visited it many times too :-(, have spoken with Nigel at TNC and he...
I took pictures to LFS and they said iron deficiency... is this right?
