I just recently set up a 46 gallon Marine Reef Tank... I am running a Penn-Plax Cascade canister filter, a Aqua C Remora Protein Skimmer, and 2 Maxi-Jet 900's. I was also running a 200 watt heater, set to 80 degrees when I first set the tank up(Saturday). When I got up I found the tank at 86 and rising so I unplugged it last night. The tank dropped to 81 this morning and it is now at 81.2. The lights are not running yet, but the light is this model Coralife Aqualight Double Linear Strip Compact Fluorescent Fixture, 2X96 Watt, 36 inch. My live rock arrives Thursday. I was wondering if the temperature is too high? If so what is the best way to bring the temperature down to the appropriate temperature without having to use a chiller? Any advice as soon as possible would be great. Thanks. I will be setting up a tank thread soon.
P.S. A lot of websites I see, say that the temp should be between 72 and 78 degrees. Is this true?
