Yes “a bit” is about right. Ideally you want to be around 80 degrees and your temps are 82 -85.85 degrees is about maximum before the animals get stressed I’ve tried injecting copious amounts of air into the dry column & have also installed a ventilating fan with its louvers directing on the water surface of my sump. In addition, lots of air is also forced on the surface of the aquarium. With all these, I only manage to bring the temp as above. Humm I wouldn’t want to see it without the fans! I’ve had a chiller before, but got busted a few times also the noise is irritating. I desperately need some advice on how to keep reef tanks cooler or maybe it will be better if you can suggest on some corals that can thrive in this temperature.
