Actually I've always kept the heater in the mixing barrel set around 74 degree just because I knew there wouldn't be enough fluctuation during a water change to condone keeping my mixing barrel at 78 degrees. I also hypothesized that the cooler temperature would retard bacteria growth if any were present in the barrel...though I've never had a problem.
Are there other benefits in that book relating to this? I've never read it.
