Fresh vs. Marine: Which one is more critical temp-wise?

[alex crouvier]

I plan to keep a freshwater and a marine tank in my apt.
The former will be heavily planted Discus/Cardinal/Ram
tank while the marine setup will likely consist of live rock, low light
corals plus community fish (Cardinals & Damsels).

Where I live, a tropical region, a room-temperature
tank is around 28-30 C (82 - 86 F). A tank set up
in an air-conditioned room will be around 25 - 26 C
(approx. 77 F).

If I have to choose -one- tank to be positioned in the
air-con room, which one will it be?

Damsels tend to be very aggresive and probably won't mix with Cardinals

Personally I would put the Marine tank in the air-conditioned room

You don't want them to overheat

you dont want either to overheat. if you can only put one in the a/c room,
then choose only one tank.

I actually have 2 Bangai CArdinals and a Blue Damsel in a 15 gallon tank
with live rocks,
an internal filter (Fluval), an wood-airstone drive skimmer and a 15 watt
Fluorescent
Looks OK so far. But me thinks it will need vigorous maintenance with the
small
volume of the tank and all.
