It's more impt tt you keep temperatures stable. Typically should not exceed 2 degrees fluctuations. 22 is abit cold though... How are your corals responding?

hey right now i only have green mushrooms which i bought at AM ytd. now still adjusting to the new environment. But my 2 clown fish that have been with me for the past 3 weeks is still swimming and eating normally with lower temp.

Now temp is 25.2deg and it will soon climb up to 28deg at the end of the day.

U need much more stable temperatures. For both your corals and fishes. Clownfish still swimming doesn't mean it's doing well. I suggest you also read up more before continuing. Trying to create a mini ocean in our tanks require delicate balance. Can you imagine if our oceans rose by 8 degrees due to global warming? We are talking about 1-2 degree rise in the next few decades and tt will already wipe out most reefs. I can't imagine the amt of stress you are putting on your system now.

yea u right. i think i have to do something abt it, like getting a heater to stabilized the temp at night when the aircon is on.
