- Yea,
-
- That's a good question. I have a 40gal[M]. with a 100watt, that's 2.5
- and it keeps the temperature pretty stable...
-
- but oddly enough I have a 100watt in my 26gal. reef. It seems to
- a harder time keeping the temperature at a steady level.
-
- So I think the 2.5 is really a minimum rating depending on other variables.
- i.e. house temperature where it's located in the house.. My reef is on a tile
- floor right near the front door. So it gets a lot colder at night in that
- hallway vs. my Main tank which stays at a fairly level 79.
-
- Dave.
