Especially with the Yellow Finger Gorgonian I saw from @Darksidereefing on Insta who keeps his tank at around 74.2F, it shows much more polyp extension and in general looks a lot happier.</p><p>Personally, I'm running the tank at 74.6F for now, and I'll see how it works out but I'm sure it'll be fine.</p></blockquote><p></p>
