water temp?

Hello all, I live in Arizona and its just now getting cold. I'm a newbie to the salt water thing and need to ask you all for some info. I have four fish in a 55gal. Flame Angel, small bule tang, and two clowns. There just too cool! Anyways I think I might be freezing them My water temp is 72-73. What should it be and If its a little low will it hurt anything? Thanks in advance, Justin

Hey Justin,

That is a little on the chilly side. Get a couple of 75-150 watt heaters and bump the water temp up slowly to about 80F. Two heaters so that if one conks out on you or sticks open, you have the other for redundancy.
