Temperature fluctuations are normal. Do you really think the temperature in the ocean is the same 24/7? of coure not...
Well I disagree with you on that point


Actually in the Ocean you are dealing with millions and millions of gallons of water. and the fluctuations there is slow. You will hardly get a raise in temp of approx 2-3 degrees if that. that is why in our tanks there will and can be a major jump. And hafter awhile your temp moving up and down will start to affect your live stock and corals. like the tang family the hippo;s ,achillies, powder brown dont like to have a temp swing. Ick will pop over them in no time...
