I've noticed since the tank was replaced that the coolant has been hotter (see pic) and a little more variable in temperature than it used to be.

Whilst this temperature reading still seems within a safe operating threshold i'm curious as to why this may have changed and if there is anything I should investigate further?

Temperature will always fluctuate in a properly operating system.
From what you describe your system is fine.
What your seeing as now a fluctuating temp. vrs a more steady temp. is probably because your now more aware, since the coolant tank replacement.
