Dunno...
The thermometer bulb keeps blowing out. Seriously... it's running at about 88 right now, and there's a nighttime low of 84 and a 3pm high of 90. |

My tank goes from around 81-82 in the morning to 84-85 in the evening.
Horge, Do you keep sps in those temps.? I recently had my tank go up to about 89 a couple of days and I lost one acropora and one other bleached a little but recovered. FOX ------------------ angelfire.com/ak3/korysreef.htm |

Hi Kory:
Acroporids (and Pocilloporids) don't seem to appreciate rapid temp changes or higher temp ranges for that matter. (Real funny for stereotypical crest animals, ja?) But aye, I husband a number of Pectinias, Stylophoras, Porites lobata and Porites cylindrica, etc. They're all growing at rates comparable to or better than their clones in the wild. I couldn't do squat with Heliopora coerula at the higher 80's temp, though. My corals zoox-puke/bleach with some regularity (once a week maybe, haha). The trick seems to be providing the params that allow them to recover, and obtaining frags from very close to shore |

Average about 83F, hits about 84 something in the day, doesn't go below 82 at night.
Check out the great temp debate...this one will last forever it seems. http://www.reefs.org/library/article...mperature.html Keith ------------------ Visit Keith's Reef |

Keith:
Given the staggering amount of pride and utter hogwash being put out to dry on that over-wrought thread, I'm glad this one is just a poll. |

Hmm, my tank probably doesn't get any cooler then 81 and probably doesn't get any hotter then maybe 86 or so.
I am, as you may be able to tell, a firm believer in Ron's points regarding temperature/salinity. |

Somewhere between 79 and 82. But this is based on a glass aquarium therometer. I have heard that they can be off as much a 4 degrees. I have 2 that read about 2 degrees apart and I take an average on them to get the temp above. Plan to let it get up around 84 during the day this summer. Later, Nathan
