mister water

[luvzebra3]

I have read pros and cons about heating the water in the mister reservoir. What is the opinion here? Thanks for the input

well basically if u heat it to much you speed up the growth of algea and what not, which type of system u running? does it have a large volume tank ?

it's a Mistking and I only put in a gallon of water in the 5 gal bucket every few days I have a heater in there now that says it raises the temp 5 - 10 degrees from room temperature. I realize the mist may never be warm, but I would like to take some of the chill out of it. He runs away from it now.

well if u wanted to put more in it i would recomend dropping one of those air stones in it to keep the water moving will slow any growth down a bit
