Temperature Fluctuation...

I have the 24 gallon model (I think you have the 12 gallon, I could be wrong). On this model the splash guard does not extend all the way under the fans, it only extends and covers the lights. If you following this link you can (barely) see what I am talking about: http://www.jbjlighting.com/images/sys_24G_CANOPY.jpg

So if I flipped one of the two fans around then it would be blowing directly at the water. I'm not saying this would work, only that it is possible, lol.

From what I read, the next generation 24 gallon nano cube will have a splash gaurd that extends and encloses the fans too.

As long as your tank inhabitants are in very good health, 4 degrees won't hurt them. I don't think I'd swing much more than that though. Mine swing about 3 degrees from night to day.

I forgot to mention, once I kick on the AC for the summer the tanks stay within 2 degrees. In the winter it is the same since the ambient temp stay at a fixed temp.

I see what you mean Cbianco. Now that I have all my live stock in temporary tanks that are small my temperature jumped around quite a bit initally. It went from my main tank temp of 77 up to 78.5 then back down to 77.2 after working with it.

I had to prop the hood open a little with a nickel to allow heat to escape and that got my temp down to where the heater could just maintain it at a steady temp.
