Fluctuating Temps

I bought a 1/10 HP Prime mini in-line chiller from fostersmith and it works great. My only concern is the temperature differential. It only kicks on when the water temps go 2 degrees F above the set temperature. What's the logic behind that? Im a bit confused.

Anyways, to put it plainly, the chiller brings the temps down to 73, then after a few hours when the cool wears off and the temps go back up to 75 the chiller kicks on and brings it back down to 73 again. It does this probably a few times over the course of the day maybe more. My question is, will this constant flux in temps pose a threat to my seahorses or any small gobies that i may introduce into the tank? Yes i do have a heater hooked up to the back of the chiller as well and it too is set to 73.
