no for corals you should have your tank at 78.5-80/81.I think 76 is a litte cold.why dont you just mess with theheater for a little bit and see how it goes.in nanos its very hard to keep things stable.

Yes, I also have problems keeping the temp stable. But when your working with such a small volume of water fluctuations happen quickly. My temp is starting at 76.5 upwards to about 81. I'm probably going to raise the temp to hold at 79.
Keep the temp for reefs seems to have alot of opinions. Some people like the 77ish while others like 80ish. I guess whatever works use.
I completely agree with the higher temp making your tank more vulnerable to disease, but on the other hand rapid changing water conditions will cause alot of stress on fish that will make them vulnerable to diseases too. I got a $100 fish (golden angel) in my 24 nano cube, so I'm extremely worried about his health.
I'm going to see how he does with higher temps for now.

One issue you may have now with the extra cooling holes you put in is your evaporation rate will likely increase, so you'll have to be more diligent with topoffs........

86 wow! a little high dont you think???All deligh well like you said people say 77-80 but lower temp equals less ick which really isnt true 76 77 is still fine to catch ich the way you get ich in temp. is when it swings like what yours is doing(going from 76 to 80)a lower salinity rids ich.I deff. think it chould be at least 78 but 76 wont really kill em but it is a little cold.
