| have they spilt water onto the aspen, sometimes harry spills his water making the aspen wet, doesn't always look wet but humidity goes up which i can tell by condensation, might be worth checking and cleaning out which should rectify the problem (if thats it) |

| don't think it matters, you could think if you want better access for wires etc but somewhere it has no chance of getting blocked by aspen or foliage. |

| Just leave it an see if it drops. To get to 75 without knowing why is hard, even split water in the cool end wouldn't get it no where near that. Have u just changed water or anything, check there's no poo or rates on mat. |
