76-80 is good for me.. california is wierd.. hard to keep it steady. but thats my range

 

[jerl77]

76 in low thats at night when the lights come on it around 78 is this ok?

I have my RKL set up to keep it at 78 and it does great when lights are off, raises a bit to 79.5 during lights on...

76.8 is fine but try keeping it stable. 76.8 - 78 is not a problem at all.

Whatever the room temp is.. I dont run one. Everyone is fine in the tank soooo if its not broke dont fix it. ;)

81-82.5 - just how my tank runs.

78.5 +/- .1 degree when the outside weather gets above 75 the tank will get up to 80.5 with the halides on.

66-74 degrees, it's about 65 right now...

Mine runs 71 to 74... Used to be 83..:( a simPle fan on the sump works wonders...

77 +/- .5

I let it swing from 76.5 to 77.5

I shoot for 80deg but I honestly believe it is best to let my tank have swings. In the wild reefs the temps are constantly changing and I believe this makes the corals more resilient to change.

65 really? when I left your house last night the car said it was down to 28 outside.
