Water Temp Change and Water Change

[Michael Rossi]

I’ve had my saltwater mixing for about 24 hours for my weekly water change. I turned the heater in my mixing bin off last night though and now I’m waiting for the temp to rise again. Problem is, I gotta head out soon.

Tank is 75 gallons and currently at 77.7 F. I’m doing a 10 gal water change and that water is 75.2 F. Would I be causing a big problem if I do the change now, even with the 2.5 F difference?

Wouldn’t be a problem I don’t even heat my water before water changes don’t have temp swings.

Temp dropped half a degree. Not a big deal at all
