i am based in the Uk with my newish Max S 650 and for once the temperature this summer is hotting up. This is my first aquarium if any kind.
I have heaters set for 25C as normal but the tank has been up to around 27.5C at the moment and over the next few days we are forecast to get high temperatures
Basically I don't really want to install a chiller unless I have to as I don't think it would be used much but I just wondered how tolerant is the marine life to temperature and can it cope to higher temperatures for a few days here and there when we get hot days? For example will bad things happen at say 30C or are we good for a short period?
This isn't a money issue at all it's just the tanks all set up, running nice and I don't really want to use the space for the chiller. If I have to then I will but just trying to establish if it's necessary in the UK for the odd day or week when the temperature goes up.
I have fish and corals mainly LPS/soft
Your advice would be greatly appreciated.
