Tank Temp

[tcarroll]

I cant seem to get my tank temp below 79,i unplugged my heater my lights run 12 hrs a day.The house temp is around 71.My lights are Nova T5 Pro, Six Light Configuration,3 blue 3 white.Temp seems to stay around 79 to 80 sometimes 81.The lights have fans on them.Is this to high of a temp?

Thats not that high.As long as its staying fairly stable,your alright.

i run my tank at 80, though i might scale back a little. as long as your temp doesnt swing too much and it's not above 82 or below....76 i think, it should be ok.

Yeah my tank stays around 80 degrees too. It's weird, a lot of fish on liveaquaria.com recommend temp from 72-78. But in reality I dont know of anyone with a marine aquarium under 79...

 

[cthegame]

I agree with others. I also average around 79-81...

That's not a problem. As long as your temperature stays within a few degrees over a 24 hours period, you're fine. It's large temperature swings that are bad for the animals. Mine gets as high as 82 or 83 every day.

Mine stays near 80 most of the time.

I run mine at 78, but I am getting the Nova Extreme Pro on Wednesday so that temp might change like yours did.
