Whats a good tempature to keep my reef with fish at? I'm still learning and i'm trying to hold my tank at a temature of 76 for fish and coral. Is that a good temp or should i raise it some. All suggestions will be helpful.. Thanks in advance.

If the aeration is good in your tank this is not that critical. If you have dived or snorkeled a reef it is obvious that there are quite large temperature variations that both coral and fish tolerate fine. At higher temps oxygen dissolution is lower but with good water flow this is no problem. My tanks can reach 86 in the summer and go as low as 77 in the winter. This is on the high end, so I recommend something in the middle. The daily variation in my system can be as high as 5 degrees and I have never seen problems with that.I keep mine at 76.
