🌡️ Hydro Tip: Reservoir temperature is EVERYTHING.
Keep your res between 65-68°F (18-20°C). Here's why:
✅ 65-68°F = Maximum dissolved oxygen, healthy roots
⚠️ 70-75°F = Oxygen drops, pythium risk increases
🚨 75°F+ = Root rot city. Brown slime incoming.
Solutions if your res runs hot:
❄️ Frozen water bottles (budget option)
🧊 Aquarium chiller (set it and forget it)
🪨 Hydroton as top layer (insulates from light/heat)
🌊 Beneficial bacteria (Hydroguard, Great White)
