I just increased my lighting on my Acro dominated tank. I’m running 3 reefi uno pro 2
over a 4 foot tank at about 12 inches off the water. The lights run hot and have been heating my water. I was running the tank at 78-78.5 with apex/inkbird and it was pretty stable. Since the change my tank is heating up slowly through the day to 80 degrees and then falling back to 78 overnight when the lights go off. I keep my house at 74 degrees consistently (live in Florida).
Will this rise and fall of 2 degrees cause any issues in my tank? Should I just up my thermometer to 80 to keep it constant?
Btw I don’t have sump space for a fan/chiller
