Mine too is a titanium heater with a control nob, but no thermostat. Those ones where like twice as much |
It does mean it is set, BUT, you need to check it fairly often just to be sure.
82 degrees is a bit on the warm side for your reef. Ideally, if I were going to recommend a single set temp I would say 78 is better. Here's why...
First, 78 is about the average temp of the reef in various locations around the world with some variation due to depth of the water and seasonal changes.
Second, at 82 you have very little upward margin of error. I personally run mine at 78 and it varies from there to 80 degrees during the day. So, 82 is ok, but I'd lower it a bit if it were mine.
