I am having a very hard time keeping a consistent temperature in my tank and am worried about the health of the tank (ick, coral health etc). The temperature is fluctuating between 71-80 for the most part, and I know low 70's is not a good situation. I have 3 heaters in there now....total of about 400 Watts on a 65 Gallon tank, and all the heaters are functioning (to what extent I am not sure). The room is not that cold really, probably upper 60's and I just have a small 4" fan blowing out for when the metal halides are on.
So, my question....
Is there a heater that anyone would recommend to help me with this problem? I feel like if I turn the current heaters up they will just overheat the tank when the metal halides come on.
