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...

take it from someone that lives on the ocean- a temperature swing of 2-3 degrees is nothing. all it takes is a simple tide change and then the water that is flowing over the reef changes from warm lagoon water to cold deep ocean water. I notice it everytime i go swimming.
