Temperature

[Budman's Corals]

Thanks. Not sure why they elected that particular program, but if it were me and I wanted to run such a seasonal variation, I'd run it opposite the local season to offset problems due to power failures. I do that, but not nearly to the extreme they do and not nearly that low.

from the site:

"The AquaController Apex and vary the temperature based on the typical temperatures from a reef at 15° north latitude, called Regional Temperature or
RT. The temperature will get as low as 75 degrees in February and as high as
80.5 in August. "

Here's a plot of actual average temperatures:

Yeah there 75 is a bit to low for me,I have a cutoff at 77.5 and a cut off of 79.5
I dont mind it dropping a few degrees over the year but there talking 5 -6 degree swing.
