Temperature Sine Wave

[Brooklyn]

Hello, lately I've noticed the temperature of the water in my 2.5 pico fluctuates regularly. The temperature will drop to 80 degrees, the heater will kick in and raise the temp to 81 degrees and shut off, then the water will cool to 80 degrees and the cycle will begin again.

 

My question is, will my livestock be stressed by this?

one degree change, dont worry about it

A: If your inhabitants don't looked stressed you don't need to worry.

 

B: If your inhabitants do look stressed consider a better heater. (considering they aren't stressed from water parameters.)

 

Yes it's that simple

You forgot C: If your inhabitants are stressed by a one degree temp change, it's time for less challenging in habitants. There are larger flucuations like that in the ocean naturally.

 

Unless the cycle is like four or five times a second, I think they're fine.

lol, thanks for the responses.

Probably not even a full degree, depending on the accuracy of whatever you're using to measure.

 

Either way, not a problem.
