For sure... extra investment that you will have to get when up switch over to LED.

When I had my 150X2 MH and 54X4 T5 over the 75gal before, heater never turns on, but chiller does even in the winter time.

However when I switch over to LED, heater actually turns on first time in 2 years.

For me, I have the heater kicks in at 75 and turns off at 76. and with 1 degree drop at night.

From all my 4am reading, that's too cold for corals. That's where my tank has always been, but I'm going to raise it and see what the corals do..

I set the summer time temp lower because tank is now on a different floor, and with all LED. I am not too sure how will the temp rise up during the summer. So I set it lower, that way, if it shouldn't rise up to an alarming level. Even when it does, I should be home already and deal with it.
