I keep my tant at 72 no algae ever

What kind of corals and fish do you keep? Does everything stay healthy?

Interesting that a few of you keep it warmer in the summer and cooler in the winter, I have always heard to do the opposite in case of power failure. I keep mine at 78.5 year round via Apex.

My basement stays cool...even in the summer, but in the winter I already have to run an electric heater in the room down there so with 3 heaters in tank, 76 is its sweet spot,lol
And in the summer I like a cool house so I take the heaters out excluding one in The sump set at 75 just incase....

75 to 76 keeps corals and fish happy

As a former Pet store owner, It Is known, the higher the temperature, the lower the oxygen levels. Mid7s match ocean thermocline averages.
