your filter already running in that tank? your already install your lighting? that 2 thing is a major effect on your water temperature. if both are running, that is low than normal temperature.
No I have not install anything yet, was testing the tank for any leakage. But when I install the lighting it will definitely go higher.

why not? they will clean your algae.
just that they are eyesore when too many inside.

where do you brought this tank?
you cant get 3.5feet light set anywhere in market.
I got it custom made (105 x 40 x 40), I would need a 4ft light for it right?
