Scolymia temperatures

[ajtomase]

I currently keep my tank between 78-79 (use a heater and a chiller to consistently keep that 1 degree difference). I just got scolymias and I heard various people say keep the tank between 77-78, but others say that 78-79 will be fine as long as it's consistent.

What is everyone's thoughts?

I keep mine at 77 with the temps fluctuating to 79-80 during the summers, I have no issues with my scoly.

Mine are kept at 77.5, heaters only used during winter months, then fans for summer. Should be fine at temps you mentioned I would assume

IMO you should be fine. I ran my tank w/ a scoly at 80F for a couple of months and now I’m running my tank at 77F and haven’t noticed a difference.

The question becomes, what does the minor differences in temperature from one tank to the another matter? Are you assuming that all these people that make recommendations on temperature are calibrating their probes to a known standard? And if the answer is no, then what good is their advice?

We are using a rubber ruler to make decisions on things that shouldn't be so complicated.
