hmm... should probably check the temp on my res. Its all contained in a single chamber. I've got cold air intake coming into the bottom (where the res is) at 72 degrees, but the chamber itself is exhausting in the low 80s.
What type of PH swings do you usually see due to high temps: swings basic/acidic?

Yes. Keeping your temps below 70 will help with bacteria and potential root rot. It is worth the extra effort. Also make sure everything is 100% lightproof.

It will help. I recently Had a bacteria problem in which h2o2, zone, or anything else wouldn't help. I read up and found out that bleach at .5 ppm , which is less then tap water, will control it without hindering the plant. You have to run chemical ferts with it or h2o2.
