SPO-00L Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 Hey Guys, In the process of setting up my 6ft marine tank. I have not had a chance to buy a chiller yet. Just wondering if live rock needs to be kept below a certain temp in order to survive? The water wont be reaching over 30c. Cheers, Trent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shon982 Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 Yeah I believe that should be fine Ideally it should be closer to the 20 degree mark though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aterese Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 Most people keep their tanks about 25deg, I find with this weather my 2ft (curing live rock also) is staying at 26-27 and it is fine. My 4ft DT never falls below 24 (even winter) and chiller comes on at 26 deg. I have never had to have a heater in either (maybe middle winter to be safe). So if your tank is staying below 27 I would not be worried. Just remember to do water changes whilst curing, lots of chemical levels raise during the process.
