Reef temp

[Kfclass99]

Hi guys Iv had my mixed reef set up for around a year , I’m have always run temp at around 24.5 (77.9) am I missing out on growth of corals due to below low ? Thanks

I keep my tanks @ 78 and have never seen any problems. I think you are fine where its at.

I keep mine a little lower - 77.3 is the set point, of course it fluctuates a little. Everything grows, but not crazy fast. I have practically no algae though.

I run 77.4-77.8. There are 5 tanks draining into my sump, they vary by about .5 degrees. I take the temp of the water as it’s flowing out of my display.

Mine stays around 80 when the house is shut. Windows open and it drops down to 78. You’re fine.

I run mine at 76.5, it does warm a bit in the summer to 77-78 with fan use. Euphellia, toadstool, montiopora, pocillipora, stylophora, acans, cyphastrea, and zoas all seem to grow. I have had difficulty with favias just disappearing (one from a bryopsis outbreak with an apex fail) and scoly has been temperamentual. 2 blastos seem to be growing but slowly. Hard to tell if the temp would make a difference.

I want slower growth so keep on low end of temp partly for that reason...smaller tank I don't need overcrowding too soon and I'm not in a hurry at all. Also like the lower evaporation and being away from high temp limits. Corals are doing just fine, still growing noticeably.

I keep mine at 26degC. Not sure if this is right or not

Thanks very much for the reply’s guy I think I will leave it as it is

BTW 77.9F is 25.5 degC, not 24.5
