Hi all
I've been working with tuning in the ability to maintain a stable temperature and have been seeing a wide mix of results because we'll... It just depends.
I've put together a spreadsheet of what I plan to keep for coral and livestock and their basic care Sheet info. Taking the smallest Max and highest low I'm looking at 75-80F is tolerable .
Everyone seems to say 77-78F is the sweet spot. Right now I have my reef-pi set to kick on the heater at 77.5F and turn it off at 78F.
The temp swings about .5 over an hour. but I have unfortunately oversized my heaters and have seen 1 degree in 1 hour.
Tldr
I guess what I'm asking is how much is too much of a temperature swing up or down over a given amount of time.
