Inkbird on/off heat difference

[mook1178]

So the name of the game with corals is stability. I set my on/off temps to a difference of 0.5F. I see a lot of people with a 1F difference.

Thoughts? Is my tolerance too tight?

I feel like the temp bouncing 1 degree back and forth is not very stable.

I used 1 degree for 7 years.

I used 1 degree for 7 years.

Is there a benefit one way or the other?

I wouldn't over think it. I'm sure the ocean swings more than 1 degree. I would just keep doing what your doing if it's working. I have some of my inkbirds set to 0.5 Celsius. The ones I have only allow 1 degrees adjustment in Fahrenheit

No benefits either way IMM.

1 degree for me, only benefit I thought was heater not working as hard.

My inkbird is at 1 degree as well. But after moving to IM Helios for other tanks. My temps are stable 77.8-78. Rarely do I see it move anymore.
