Not sure if tank is a nice temp

[bendan]

Hello, I'm new to reefing and I just want to make sure that my tank is an adequate temp. I've been looking through the forums and I see that 78-82 is a better temp for a reef temp, but I was wondering if 76 Fahrenheit is fine because my tank temp only sometimes reaches 78. Rn I want to add clownfish and maybe some soft coral-like toadstools.

Seventy six degrees is just fine. I scuba dive and corals do fine at that temperature. It is probably better to run a bit cool. Corals can bleach at temps above 85 degrees. At 76, you have a good margin of error.

I agree, 76° F will be just fine
