Temperature Test

Testing temperature in a reef aquarium is critical, as even slight fluctuations can stress corals and fish, impacting their health and growth. Reef tanks typically require a stable temperature range between 76°F and 80°F (24°C to 27°C). Temperature can be checked with digital or analog thermometers, and using a reliable heater and, if necessary, a chiller, helps maintain stability. Daily monitoring ensures that any changes are detected early, allowing quick adjustments. Consistent temperature testing supports a healthy, balanced environment, vital for the sensitive organisms in a reef aquarium.
