So after many preparations for getting a saltwater tank, I finally got my set up and got it the way I wanted to, it's finally cycled and I started adding fish already

So far I have

-13 lbs of live rock
-10 lbs of live sand
-5 scarlet hermit crabs
-skunk cleaner shrimp
-three stripe damsel
-yellow corris wrasse
-zoanthids

So far, I've had my three stripe damsel and my zoas for 2 days and they look really healthy
But still slowly photo acclimating my zoas so they're not in the spot I want them in yet

And now I just added my new skunk cleaner shrimp and yellow corris wrasse in
And the shrimp automatically started scavenging
And my wrasse just buried itself under my sandbed lol I guess still shy

My only problem right now though is that at night when I turn my light off my temp is ok at 78-80
But then in the morning when I turn it on it goes up to 80-82
Should I be worried, what should I do about it?

I would be much more worried about your fish rather than the temperature of your tank. There's very few fish that can safely go in a 10g tank and neither of those are on that list. Damsels dont belong in anything less than a 30g tank while that Wrasse you have needs something in the range of 50g or more. I would seriously suggest rehoming them.

As for the temperature increased surface agitation or a ran should help solve the temp changes.
