a few weeks ago i moved my 2 axies from a 10 gallon to a 29 gallon aquarium. i was hoping with the bigger tank the temp would drop a little bit because the temp on the 10 gallon was 70-72F which i know is too high. so now they are in the 29 gallon but the temp is still 70F. i try and keep my room temp at 70F sometimes it goes up a degree or 2 but for the most part it is 70F. the water in the tank does evaporate fairly quickly i think, and the filter out-take stirs up the water currents so i didnt want to add a bubbler because i know they dont like high water current. i am just not sure what else i can do to lower the tamp and also if i need top do something to lower the current in the water???

Unless you're having problems with your axies, I wouldn't worry about 70F. My tank is usually right around there.

The larger tank will be the same temperature as your room. It just takes longer to warm up/cool down.
