Water temperature

[mario]

What's the water temperature in your tank?
I live in South Florida and the temperature in my tank is never below 81 F.
I read that fluctuation is what I should really be afraid of but 81 degrees seem a little too high to me.
What are you guys from the warm Florida doing?

I'm not from Florida, but that temp is fine anywhere.

ditto

That temp is fine as long as it doesnt go from 81-85 then back to 81 all the time. Mine runs 79-81.

I feel better now

I keep my nano tank at 85F and my Lagoon at 82F.

Not to steal the thread, but this seems like it relates. How low is too low? 76? 74? 72? ...

To answer your question you need to know where all of your animals come from in the wild.
If it's the Red Sea then all of those numbers are too low. If it's Fiji or Florida then it depends on the animal.
