Yea so about a month or so ago, I noticed my GHL temp drifting and kicking up alarms. Nothing too unusual about that, the Profilux is old and even though the temp probe is new, well let’s just say it’s not something I rely on 100%. I have a BNLink temp controller set to 78° and it jumps +\- 1°. So that was reading 78-79° and I didn’t think much about it other than complain about GHL. Anyways, you see where this is going. Went to do a WC yesterday. Actual tank temp for the last 4 weeks or so? 74.5-76° 😳. I bypassed the Chinese BNLink controller and now Profilux is in charge. I guess I am going to spring for inkbird… I am surprised everything has done as well as it has. You would think things would start dropping dead if it gets too cold 🤷‍♂️.

Also, i know wrong forum but for maximum traction, Anyone cooking any phyto?

Thanks.

I dont think that is too cold as long as it stays there. Might have more problems bringing temp up too fast. NOAA records reef Temps between 73 and 84*

ADG tells me they don't even heat their tanks. I would suspect their store is in that lower 70s temperature range with no issues. I do heat my tank though, because during winter I am far too cheap to heat the house. Lol! 62 is where my thermostat is during the winter, lol!
