My heater in my tank is all over the board but my tank stays at 84 year round. I played with the heater too much until tonight i realized that i just need a new one. Anyway it seems like there are alot of questions and theories to temp and what is good and bad. I have had good luck with the reef for two years with it at 82-84.
My question is what is the risk, reward or issues for keeping a tank at higher temp?
Biologically, Chemically, growth, etc....
The one thing I have noticed is my corals just do not grow. They always look healthy. I know my lighting and flow is good but the other variables I am not sure, temp, consistency, etc. I also feel my water quality is ok but could be better.
Anyway over time what is high temp doing? Anyone? Do corals do better at a lower temp?
