Good temp for sps ?

Here is mine

 

[eraser2001]

The temperature our my tank is around 79.5 to 79, and is full of sps

Around this time when it’s colder it swings from 77- mid 78. Summer 78-79

I keep mine at 77 and fluctuates between 77 and 78 on my apex. My corals seem to like it and maintain nice colors and growth.

The range for most tropical SPS is approximately 74 to 84 F. Any higher or lower and you risk bleaching. One paper I read showed the maximal growth rate to peak around 77 F (at least for the corals tested).

One thing to bear in mind is that always keeping corals at 78-80 F decreases their ability to survive heat stress, as has also been shown in the literature.

I really don't think it matters as much as keeping it stable, as long as it is within the "safe" range.
