Tank Temps

I have seen this issue debated on web foruoms for a few years. LOtsof
info one way or the other in regards to max temps and temp swings /
differentials. Iknow for a fact the water in th ekeys or bahamas cools
down consideranbly at night once that sun goes down and a tide
occurs........so fish do go through temp swings on a rather routine
schedule with sun up sun down and tide changes and storms.......it
happens. Same for max and min temps. I prefer higher temps and less
swing......I know person in the phillipines that runs his tanks at a
cool 86 deg, and he says that temp is pretty well common place for all
the reef and fish keepers there. 86 is not all that uncomon for aot
of reefs either around the world and there are even a few that are a
bit higher. As an experiment one time I ran a tank with just corals
in it at 86 deg and they did do fine, actually best they ever did with
a SG of 1.026 and 86 deg F, but I thnk its a bit extreme if fish are
at that temp. Yes they may live and do fine, but a bit more increase
could be a fish and shrimp boil too.

7 degree temperature swing can be stressful on your fine finned buddies.
Try and tighten up the temp swing +/- 3°F
Say 77°F - 80°F

Temp should be kept between 76°F and 83°F

I ordered some more slimline fans, but my temp still swings from 77 to 84
in a day. Is 7 degrees too much?

I was hoping to wait till next month to buy a chiller, but it seems like I
need to do something sooner.

I forgot more about ponds and koi than I'll ever know!

Pond and fish group[s area dime a dozen on the internet..just what
the world needs is one more, but if that one more is a momderated one
an dit works at excluding Tristan, then its well worth it......Having
Tristan in a group or forum is about like getting an outbreak of ICH
in a fish tank.
