78 year round right now. I like the idea of letting it get a couple of degrees cooler in the winter and warmer in the summer for energy efficiency purposes, but I just stick with what has worked.

77-78… keeps turbo snails happy and alive.
They don’t seem to last long around the 80 degree mark

I don't have a heater or chiller on the big tank. It stays right around 80 degrees. Doesn't really get below 79 or above 81 much.

I keep the nano at 78.

I'm just curious to see what and why everyone is running their tank's temperature that way. Has it been effective for you at that temperature? Do you wish it was hotter or colder? How are you cooling your tank if it gets too hot etc.
78F year round. I use a top of tank fan in the summer to cool.
