If there's any interest I could set up a Google Drive (used to be called Google Documents) spreadsheet where we could all record our readings?

I've created a spreadsheet and put it here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...EdWWmRreklHdXc
Anyone should be able to view it, if you want to edit it to add your own results pm me your email address and I'll add you.
If anyone doesn't want their data shown pm me and I'll remove you (and accept my apologies!)

Sorry I should have explained. I bought a new thermometer yesterday as you guys were getting me worried.
The heater was reading 22.2 this morning. So I took the temp from the actual pond and thee temp was 19.8. I then took the temp from the nexus pump chamber and the temp was 22.0. So it looks to me that the medo pumping hot air into the nexus is acting like a heating device. The tubing that runs from the medo 120ltr to the nexus is always very hot indeed. So based in this I will need to assume that the pond water is always 3 degrees colder than the heater reading. This is the reason that my temps seemed excessive at first. So to heat at 16 degrees I will need to set the heater to 19. Anyone else have this kind if change between filter and pond?
