Try and keep the res temp between 18-21c, if the temp exceed this then problems may occur like root rot, but if a bacterial enzym is in your res,like cannazym or others, these can help restrict bad things forming with higher temps.
For example I have experienced over 23c in my res but with no problems while using cannazym.
If your water temp is higher than 23c or more I strongly recommend you use a cooling system.
If it goes lower than 18c it isn't a big issue, its if it goes lower than 16c, this will create stunted growth and leafs crinkle and gro deformed

Thank you for that. Sounds exactly like what I need to know. I'm starting my room in the basement and my res temps are at 55f I suppose I should lift it off the floor

Last place I was at I had to shuffle the frozen 2ltrs around. I was gonna get a water chiller but then we moved. And the basement here is chilly. Think I might need a space heater for the room temp. It's about 60 down thereYes you should grab a sheet of 1/2" RIGID foam board and start with one layer.
Check temps
Then add more or less as needed to maintain an ideal temp of about 68. With a low of 65 and a high of 70
Its actually nice you have to insulate to get temps up
