A difference of a degree or two might not seem significant but could spell disaster or delight for your underwater world. How surprising it must be to realize a little underheating or overheating could spell the success or failure of your ecosystem.
Interestingly, some species thrive in slightly higher temperatures, leading enthusiasts to re-evaluate their assumptions about ideal conditions. Creating an algae outbreak nightmare could ironically root from misguided attempts at replicating tropical climates. Who knew that fish like the Zebra Danio prefer cooler waters for optimal health?
