What is the ideal temp to set for reef tank

[ddon24]

Hi guys, what is your suggestion for an ideal temp to set for reef tank. Currently mine is set to 28 and all corals are doing fine.

Have 5 Suncorals

3 Bubble Corals

I am going to set mine 27 - 28 deg cel.

As long as temperature stays below 29 degrees you are pretty safe. Some corals might open better in lower temperatures. Mine's set between 27-28.5.

Thanks Bro for your tip My Suncorals mainly spread their tenticles big in the night and i have been feeding them almost everyday the past 5 days in the daytime but according to henry's advise its better not to feed everyday as it will kill them. Is it possible to make them open full bloom during the daytime witout feeding all the the time as we all know overfeeding will spike the nitrates too.

I would be interested to know too Intend to try suncorals soon, and other non photosynthetic corals. My plan is to flood tank with cyclopeeze and phytoplankton. Based on my experience and my tank, I have not seen any spike in nitrates even when flooding frozen food 3-4 times a week.

I think Henry dishes out good advice on suncoral care. I would do whatever he has instructed.

edit: dude I think you should give Henry a call/sms. He doesn't always come to src to check threads, have to run his business too!

26-27 for SPS dominated tank and below 29 for LPS & softies dominated tank...but having said...these are ideal temps. I have seen and read pple keep SPS dominated tank around 28 degrees.

I set mine at 25.5'c... Best is 26'c to 26.5'c... But some says below 28'c will be safe... After all its up to you... Just a thing to note... Don not shift temp more than 2'c a day... as it may shock livestocks...

wow 25.5, not surprised your chiller blow in that cabinet

Do note that not only corals need specific temp.

Certain deep water species corals will need colder temp

Same goes to several species of fish as well.

In general, 28c will get you in good shape.

kekeke it is not the temp setting ... it is housing the chiller in the cabinet
