Is it the half a degree or the one point in salinity that's the biggest danger? I can always drip acclimate too.
Neither. They're close enough, it just gave me an opportunity to post the Governator and his twin.

I mean I know it was a joke, but just posting to say I intentionally keep my QT tank at a higher temp (habit from FW), just under 80, and salinity lower so it's .01 from the store I usually get fish from. Then I can acclimate down (temp) and up (salt) from there as they get ready to move to DT.

I think that's a ok.

Ill be honest I only temp acclimate bags for a little.

Unless it came in the mail (snails) and the waters alot colder
If it's not I'm out of my depth...

I didn't expect the temp to be that high. I may take a look at the thermometers and kick them down a little. At least I the display.

I run higher. I'm 78-79 all the way. If I hit low 78s my alarms go off. :face-with-tears-of-joy:

I was running around 77 before the move over. got a new heater that I really should have checked to see if it fit in the sump...
You probably don't want copper in the DT anyway.
note to self, don't add copper to display to match qt tank. ;)
