Decided I would start a small thread in regards to water temperature.
I haven't got a chiller, (as of yet), but I am thinking about getting one for the upcoming UK summer months .. however, in the meantime, I have been reading up on temperature and wanted to get some opinions about 'how hot is too hot' before it becomes unhealthy for the fish?
Some aquarists feel that maintaining your tank between 75-77° F is best, some say 75-80° F, while others feel that 80-85° F, or even higher? is suitable. Here is a link saying that in the wild temperatures go up to 92° F:
Saltwater Tank Temperatures - Part 2 - What is the Optimal Temperature to Maintain?
I have been running my RSM 130D between 77-81° F, (25-27° C), but fear that will go up when summer hits ...
Thoughts?
