Great Barrier Reef Wonderland aquarium temperature variation

Abstract

[Extract] This study was commissioned by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority, with the objective of estimating possible temperature variations in the main reef tank of the Great Barrier Reef Wonderland aquarium. The study brief indicated tolerable lower and upper temperature limits of 19 °C and 31°C, with a maximum daily range of 2 °C. In the event that temperature variations appeared likely to go beyond these limits, suggestions regarding temperature control mechanisms were also requested.
