What temp do you run?

[Amadod2]

Im always trying to get the best results, and do lost of reading as everyone else on here does, but what im wondering is what temp do you guys run your tanks at, and have you ever ran a different temp and what were the results??

i currently keep my tank at 80 degrees and in the summer it climbs up to 90, this year im getting a chiller to keep me at a stable 80.

Ive run from 75 to 91. at 75 things grow really slowly. At 91, things die really quickly. Somewhere in between is best. My tank currently runs 77.9-79.4 through the day all year round.

Amadod,

Here is a great article on ideal water temperatures for our reef animals.

Same found below 76 slow growth. Above 85 fries stuff. I recently ran at 80 but noticed that things just seemed happier at 78-79.

78 F. Ideally one or two degrees higher, but that's what it seems to stay stable at. It's at 77.9 right now and may drift to 78.5 or so.

Try 25.81 C, see if that fixes it

I heard switching to Celsius can mess with your ph in the salt mix, if not I'll gradually make the change slowly over time so the change doesnt impact the corals too much , they been on Fahrenheit for years now

Can anyone recommend a good salt mix that uses ceclius only ?

I also use specific gravity which I'm thinKing if I'm switching to celsius I should go the whole 9 yards and switch to ppt?
