Im from mumbai (bombay), India. During summers, our room temp reaches to 32c, outside temp i guess 40c+. Many reefers here dont keep chillers, and have successfully grown lps and softies at 30c+. Cant say about sps, as they are very exp and no1 really risks them without a chiller. However, chillers are too kept between 27c and 29c. Since electricity is very expensive here, 200-300$ monthly. I too had a chiller in my old tank, this time i dont. Will be getting one though for my new build.
Wow, most people here in America freak when the temp exceeds 29C (84F) inside their tank. Interesting to know you are able to successfully grow softies & LPS at higher temps. However, those higher temps also means less available oxygen in the water. Which might become an issue when dosing meds in your QT, since most of those also deplete oxygen.
