I've tried the 86 to 87 degree thing, but it is a planted aquarium. Some plants don't like it that warm and die back or stall growth. Better option than copper based treatments though.

It doesn't matter much now, my pleco has gotten large and is eating my plants. Time to take him to the pet store for someone with plastic plants.
