So how is everyone's temp holding up?

[Delphinus]

Most digital thermometers have a switch that tells it to report in F or report in C. All mine do, and I don't have anything special, just your typical $20-$40 digital thermometer available at any LFS..

I dunno ... it just seemed to me, why the heck do I keep them set at F? Why do I care what the F reading is? I don't say "it is 77degrees outside" I say "it is 25degrees outside" ... so why would I think "golly it is 28degrees outside, therefore my tank might hit 90!!" What doesn't make sense to me is the interchangeable units. Then I thought, well, why bother with F at all? The only reason I've ever reported temps in F in recent years, was so that Americans could understand what I'm saying. Why am I being so considerate? Do I think they'd even care that I make this effort for them? If not, then why am I bothering? So that's why I report in C firstly now. And I should add, normally I still do the math and report both numbers, just that this morning I decided I was going to make a stand. It had nothing to do with the fact that I had only one cup of coffee by that point (hey wait I still haven't had my second cup ... what the ... I must be totally losing my grip here .. where DOES the time go), and didn't feel like doing the math. .... no, ok, wait, that's really the whole reason, I admit it ....
