Default New reef tank doing great - Nano struggling in the heat

What kind of temps? The problem is that oxygen saturation levels drop
as temps go up. I've been touching 83 in my display tank lately, and
have lowered my AC a degree to counter it.

The ambient temperature is 72F at the moment (quite low for the time of
year). The Nano is up to 88F. The new tank is 80F before I switched on
the AC. There is no AC in the room where the nano is.

My thinking is that if I move the corals out into the big tank then I
can keep the nano as a FOWLR and reduce the lighting accordingly. The
fish do not appear to be showing any signs of distress - just the corals.
