75 Deg?

[blabadie]

Is 75 degrees to cold for an aquarium?

I will be keeping:

perc clown, royal gramma, six line wrasse, and firefish

maybe some soft corals down the road as well

no, 75 is right in that butter-zone. everything i've read says anywhere from 72-80 is acceptable. I keep mine a little warmer, in the 80 range just because my apartment stays warm and its hard for me to keep it at something like 75. I think you'll be fine.

i dont know if this apllies to everthing but i have read somerwere on this forum were it said
82+ is to hot
78-81 is good
77- is to cold
is this right or?...

I think it is all based off of opinion and types of fish/corals. There are some fish and corals that thrive below 75 deg (so I have read) and some that do well above 82.

Found in my experience, keeping it at around 78-79 suits most things

On colder days they heaters will keep the temperature fine but be careful and watch the temperature on warm days, this is when most damage can be done with a tank over heating and if like me, you dont have the money or space for a cooler, some ovehead fans to cool be evapouration work well.


Hope that helps

75 is fine. Good luck keeping it there in the summer
