Feel Dumb

[U4BOYZ]

I feel dumb since I've had my tank up and running for 6 months....but every place I look has conflicting opionions. I figured it was time to ask the experts. :) I have a reef tank with fish, corals, live rock, anemones and crustaceans....What TEMPERATURE should I be keeping my tank at?!

76* - 80*
Just keep it stable with no more than 1-2 degree fluctuation.

I guess I better add another heater. That's what I was starting to think. Thanks. Mine fluctuates right now between 75 and 77.

 

[dcantucson]

I don't think that's bad.

I try to keep mine around 80...but it's gone as low as 76 when I had my 45g. With the 125g, it doesn't fluctuate as much.

Mine seems to stay between 82 and 84. I don't think I can get it any lower without getting a chiller.

I also need to add an extra heater but haven't been in a rush because the temps are still within an acceptable range of 75-78. Can't get it over 78 though.

I keep mine at 82*...most reefs are between 77-82.

I try to keep mine at 80 but its from 78-81.

Mine stays a between 78.2 and 78.9.
Since I got the controller for that,its been ultra-stable.
