Pretty complicated article

Temp in out 42 fluctuates from night to day due to the heat given off by the MH. Night is about 76-77 F, day is about 80=81 F. Salinity is 1.024-1.025.

Temps in our nanos are about to be lowered to about 72-74 F in anticipation of the arrival of our temperate water, captive bred H. whitei seahorses. Have just begun converting the 7g and the 2.5g into non-coral reefs, so I haven't had the opportunity to see how temps will fluctuate in them.
