The ReefBox Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 In your reef experience. Would high tank temps lead to SPS discoloration. I discovered my apex temp prob is no calibrated correctly and in fact nearly 2 degrees off. I felt my water was warm and also noted extra algae growth so got me thinking. I have noticed some sps turning pale and they have stopped uptaking alk/calc at normal rates they were normally doing over the past two weeks. I thought it was a nutrient deficiency but for the amount of algae I get, I’m pretty sure that is not the issue. Any thoughts?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremevans Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Unless you were already running on the high end I would not expect much effect. Maybe a little paler.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milesmiles902 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 I've been the end of both cold temperatures during power outages (62° F) to higher temperatures pushing (90° F). Of course the sweet spot is 72-76° F, but I wouldn't worry about a couple degrees different on the short-term. Would I turn it down? Yes. Higher temps will always grow algae and more advantangeous critters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
