Can the sand bed be a different temp. from the rest of the tank?
But Adam, There is very little water movement in the sand bed… I can actually feel the difference with my hand against the glass. The water is noticeably warmer than the sand near the bottom. < This just doesn't sound right. I guess it could happen, but the way glass conducts (transfers) heat I wouldn't think it would have a difference you could feel. I guess I was wrong. > And, I’ll go get the radio shack thermometer to try… The thermometer strips are on the outside of the glass and it is cold here in Rhode Island, especially near the floor, since the tank sits on top of a inch of carpeting on a concrete slab. < I still think the digital thermometer will be a good addition. ><
