The Wrong Temp

[Money Pit]

I just purchased a new chiller with a built in controller. There was a 5 degree difference between my new controller and my Medusa that I used on my old chiller so I dug out my calibration thermometer to see which was correct. To my surprise I've been running my tank at 74 degrees now for well over a year. Will it be OK to slowly raise the temp to 77-78 degrees?

Of course. What are your inhabitants? You said it yourself, keyword: Slowly

It's actually much easier to bring about a rise in temperature (as far as the vertebrates are concerned) than a drop within, say, a 24 hour period. However, I'm kind of curious, since it ain't broke (at that temperature), why fix it?

Yep, I've been supporting SCE with my electric bill alone. I'm going to go to 76.
