temperature swing

Yes one or two degrees is no problem. The sea temperature does vary with tides and weather conditions, and there is some argument to say that keeping coral within a 0.5 or 1 degree tolerance is in fact unnatural and reduces a corals resilience to temp swings. That said stability is key to reefing and nothing good happens quickly. So keeping the average temp of your tank stable is important so I think you are on the right track.

thanks for the info.. i believe sps corals which are harder to keep are more easily affected by temp swing? 
Yes. They don't like change. So if you are thinking of getting a coral be prepared. For example if you buy a coral from a fellow reefer whom has spent month after month getting their corals used to 27degrees, and you buy it and in an hour or two (of floating and drip acclimation) you expect it to flourish in a tank set consistently at 25 degrees, it won't be happy. Corals can adapt to differing temperatures and different water parameters but it takes time. Consistency and minimal change is what you want to aim for.

These day to day temperature variation you mentioned are perfectly normal and likely to occur gradually during the day. I would not call it a 'swing', which usually refers to sudden changes in temperature.
