Hello. I am new to saltwater aquariums and want to know if a heater is necessary. I have read that temperatures between 75 and 79 are fine and so far my aquarium has stayed in this range but the temp does drop to 75.2 degrees by morning and by end of the day with lights on is up to about 78 degrees. So far I havent read anything about whether fluctuations within a day of 3-4 degrees is ok or if a heater is needed to keep the range tighter.
I have a 100 Gal FOWLER with wet/dry filter/sump below (plastic). If a heater is needed I wanted to put it in the sump . right now the sump has the pump in it and later will have a protein skimmer. any suggestions on how to place a heater in the sump - I was concerned about it melting the plastic.
Thank you for any advice
