Agree. Get the heater just in case. Better safe than sorry. They are cheap enough.77-79 is totally fine. My worry would be if you forget on those colder days. Best thing to do would be to put a heater in there with a temp controller. Hypothetically speaking the heater should almost never turn on if you set it up right.
Imo some temp fluctuation is actually a good thing
Thanks! Is my programming ok?Agree. Get the heater just in case. Better safe than sorry. They are cheap enough.
Appears right although not sure it can get that specific. I’d do 77 on and 78 off. I would also set your heater to turn on at 76. This way if the Apex dies the therm on the heater would turn it on so your fish won’t freeze.Thanks! Is my programming ok?
Thanks. So if I’m understanding everyone right, it’s better for the tank to run a little warmer if that means keeping the temp more stable. Today it started at 76.8 and and now it’s 79. I have another hour with the lights on so it will go up a little more.Appears right although not sure it can get that specific. I’d do 77 on and 78 off. I would also set your heater to turn on at 76.

Sorry but the salinity in p.p.t. does not change with temperature. The ways that we measure it using specific gravity, refractive index, or conductivity does change. That's why we need temperature compensation. But 35ppt will stay 35ppt no matter the temperature. The salt content only changes when water evaporates or when we add fresh rodi water.Salinity changes with temperature. So, it isn't the temperature fluctuation you should be concerned with, but the resulting fluctuation in salinity.
