    Hi guys! Like to have your opinions on whether temperature plays an important part in good plant health? What is the optimal temperature? Can this temperature be obtained in a warm country like Singapore? (With no air-con or chiller unit that is. Fans are quite noisy though). Can I leave my present temperature at 30-32 degree celsius?

    i think temperature plays quite an important part in plant health. you won't see it in hardy, easy plants. but with difficult plants, you will see a difference. try planting tonina sp. in a tank above 30C and see it melting away.

    You have to select plants that will thrive in your tank.
    Vincent - AQ is for everyone, but not for 'u' and 'mi'.
    Why use punctuation? See what a difference it makes:

    A woman: without her, man is nothing.

    most plants can take 30~32
    some of the more delicate plants like what oqs just said can't
    but there are good alternatives that look pretty much the same but are much more hardy

    I have read from Tropica site that you will need higher light to keep up with the increase metabolism at higher temperature.
