Hey, us older folks had to make the change to the metric system while in school, so we tend to stick with the Imperial system and have to convert #s
I like to talk about my tank in F, so live with it :wink:

If you can't convert imperial to metric, blame Pierre Trudeau, or your school system
Don't rag on us and call it BS :surprise:

I never voted to change from Imperial to Metric and don't recall the option to do so :twised:

I've had my tank as high as 85f.

Lights turn off at 83.
Fan turns on at 82
I very rarely go above 82.5.

When my tank went to 85 nothing seemed too bothered. Everything survived.

As an aside. I'm a child of the 80s and have travelled the world. For the vast majority of the world, everything is metric. Makes way more sense than imperial to me. Especially for conversion from one metric measurement to another.

However, I still measure my height in feet and inches, measure my tank on Fahrenheit, measure my weather in Celsius, and measure my car distances in kilometres and metres. We live close to the US who should be metric but isn't. We live in a weird place.
