Question
Hi,  after successfully treating ich,  I have returned the charcoal to the filter,  but do I keep the temp. at 82?  I have 2 neon tetras and 6 platy's in a 20 gal tank.  I used to keep it between 75-78 degrees. thanks
Tara

Answer
First of all, sorry for taking so long to answer this. My account password was lost, and it took the allexperts staff over a week to get back to me. Sorry. Now, on to your question!

I would lower it back down to 78. Do it slowly though, no more than 2 degrees a day.
