Past 2 days i came home and it was 83... I set the chiller up today, but noticed that my heaters thermostat is sticking, so im gonna get a new one tomorrow. One more thing to buy along with a new skimmer pump and a pump for my gfo reactor.

Also noticed that my aiptasia reaaaaally took off growing the past 2 days. Bubble algae thats on one frag is a lot bigger too. Fish are hungrier too...
That's because the animals metabolic rate increases with higher temperatures.

Been at a steady 77.5. During the hot periods it's easier to keep my tank cool as the AC is full time. I find it harder to keep it cool when it's cold out as that's when the heater in the house is cranking.

I have read some where also the increase tmps can also indirectly kill corals by magnifying the effects of infectious diseases, which are one of the primary causes of coral loss, during the summer time. The severity of marine diseases could increase with temperature for several reasons. Because elevated water temperature causes corals physiological stress, it can also compromise their immune system, potentially making them more susceptible to infections. Additionally, increased temperature could also benefit bacterial and fungal pathogens, making them more fit and/or virulent. hth
A better explanation would be that bacteria and viruses multiply faster in hotter environments.

Are you anti social, Justin? I'm sorry for whatever happened to you.

In this hobby we enjoy a good laugh and even dry, sadistic, sarcasm . But correcting someone in the reef community who knows absurd amount of reef know how more is just silly!

You're just super full of yourself

It was just a thought. Both explanations could apply. I wasn't trying to correct him.

4? No. Living with my parents is a lot cheaper and it's not as if they baby me or something. It's the sensible thing to do in this economy.

Are you referring to me? I can't even tell.
