Greetings,

What is the Ideal temperature that you guys keep the temperature of your reef tank ?

My tank is maintained at 75 - 77 F and i have a LPS dominated reef..

Thank You

I stay right in the ballpark of 79... Mixed reef

@ 79 w/ SPS dominant tank.

what is the ideal temperature ?

there are 100's of articles on net which says all different things...

I have my heater set at 78 but it never turns on....lol. All my equipment keep the tank at a nice 79-80

 

[jakub]

Ideally I would want it at 78

 

[jack89]

soo now the reasons ??

why at 78-79 and not lower ?

I had a heater and chiller to keep mine at 78. The coral were all happy there but it depends really. I would say that temp stability should be the most important thing.

 

[Salty1962]

Most tropical reefs are @ 79-80. Some even higher but like ESVreefer said, stability is the key!

I reaaaaally want to test the theory that some of these fancy Yuma shrooms actually do better in lower temps and light buuuut that would be tough :/ I like my other stuff too lol
