What temperature do you keep your tank at and by what means

[Dr. Reef]

So this subject is vast and temperature ranges from tank to tank, area to area.
So please let us know what temperature you like to keep your tank at:
1. Type of setup: fish only, mixed reef etc
2. Avg temperature
3. Means of cooling or heating

I use the Apex system and have matched Fiji Weather so it goes up and down depending on the season.

1. Mixed reef
2. Ranges from 77 - 82 degrees
3. I have a redundant system of 2 Heaters, so they simply run more in the "Summer Months."

 

[Feet4Fish]

1. Fish only
2. 75-76
3. Standard heaters 1200w but only ever get turned on when for 2-3 month per year. cool by means of basement fish room and exhaust fan for room. Total volume 800 gallons. Tank is fine l acrylic so great insulator.

Mine typically runs at 79 most of the year but can get as warm as 84 in the summer.

Finnex titanium heater on a reefkeeper 2 just in case.

1. 120 gal mixed reef
2. 77.6-78.1 in the winter, 78-80 in the summer
3. I use a Apex to control heaters and fan on top of my tank. Fan mainly cools the T5's which causes the most heat addition in the summer.
