My office shuts off the AC over the weekend. When Monday rolls around the office is stinking hot!
My temp swings from 77 to 81 daily during the summer. I keep meaning to bump the low end to 78 or 79 to reduce the swing but I've been too busy (lazy) to get around to that, even though it's a fairly simple thing to do and I could have easily finished doing it in the time it took me to type up this post (that's how lazy I am). I think the important thing is that: 1. the temp doesn't climb too fast, which it typically doesn't. 2. The temp doesn't stay at the high end for too long, again, it doesn't. I hit 80/81 at around 6 or 7pm, and then the halides cut out at 8pm. Anyway, my corals seem to be fine with it.
