Not just based on fishes but the metabolism of corals

And with that said, around June 10th I dropped my tanks to 79F
One reason is it will, over the year, be cheaper when I math out the heaters and chiller operation. This is due to my house's poor insulation
Another is the oxygen level
Yet another is my ability to spot things that are going wrong before they get out of hand

I don't mind if the corals grow a little slower, plus, maybe some of the other critters may live a little longer and need less food

just a thought
