hi,just a question,i keep my tank temp @ 26,is it too cold?

normally for corals, you keep it at 26-27 degree so i guess you are fine but don't go below that. Correct me if i am wrong too.

its perfectly alrite to keep corals at temp such as 23-25 degrees....but as for safety reasons in case that the chiller broke down..so that reefers tend to set the temp at 26 so if the chiller spoils....the temp rise wont cause a shock the the corals...

Me on the other hand try to save on electricity bill and avoid heating my room too much... so I set it at 26.5ºC to 28ºC. According to a lot of bros, it's an acceptable range even for a lot of hard-to-keep corals. Fishies no problem at all.

So why keep the water so artificially low? Perhaps u guys are not using MH... mine heat up quite quickly And I hate the noise emitted by the chiller...

getting the temp a little lower lets sae 24 degrees..can help to prevent fish's disease IMO...

But when treating sick fish I am told to increase the water temperature... Hmm....
