5 deg changed in temp will stress your fish and coral

Try to put a heater with temp control to maintain the temp when your air con is on.

BTW, don't you feel cool if you set your air-con at 22 deg. I only set my air con at 26 deg and I feel quite comfortable at this temp

May be you are rich guy and don't mind the high electric bill

No. Low water temperature (22-23 degree C) does not stress fishes nor neither will it cause an ich outbreak. The key is to have stable temperature be it in the low or high 20s.

Fluctuating temps will stress fishes, lower down their resistence against infections, which may result to protozoan infections.
