Hey all, I'm new to the hobby and recently (two months or so ago) started a tank with just 2 clownfish so far. Until this past week I haven't attempted to turn on the light with the aquarium as I was told to wait a bit to avoid an ugly phase, but I wanted to test out the stock lights that came with the tank. Normally my tank temperature rests around 78F with a heater and is stable unlit. I've noticed when I turn on the light to the default day/night cycle in the Fluval app, my temperatures gradually increase over a day or two to over 80F. This has happened three times now since I've been turning off the lights at this point out of caution.
I was under the impression that LED lights shouldn't be producing much heat and haven't heard of anyone else having this problem. Any ideas how to fix this issue (if it even is one)?
