How does house temp effect aquarium temp?

[Ryan Turner]

I have noticed as of late (since its winter and the weather is cold) that my pellet stove in my living room blows air into my other room where my tank is located and I am seeing 3 to 4 degree swings. When im not home the tank runs about 78 and when the stove has been on for a couple hours it gets up to 80 to 81. then settles back down during the day when im gone. Im running reef pi so I can see what times the change happens. I also am curious if this will have a negative effect on the tank.

Setup is a IM AIO 25 gallon Lagoon with a a360we light

I dont think it will a problem, since it happens slowly. It might take your corals a few weeks to adapt to the swings. Fish dont care.
