Hey everyone, fantastic site!
I'm sorry, i know this has been asked a zillion times. I have searched here and asked the question at various Marine shops. I seem to come up with various answers. I set up a 24 g bio cube two days ago. Lights off, and the temp stays at 81. I keep the thermostat for my air conditioner at 75. Its a brand new very efficient town home. The tank is down stairs where it stays a constant 76.
I plan to keep soft corals and a few very small fish. Is 81 going to be to hot for my water? What temp range should i shoot for? If i need it cooler how can one cool it down. I see 72 to 78 for the fish i plan to keep. I read on one site last night that said the ocean gets to 90 and above so why worry about the temps being around 81. Is 81 or 82 going to be to warm?
Thanks for your time!
