Whats Temperature do you keep your tank?

[k2parkstar]

Just thought i'd see what works best for you? Whats your temp and what do you keep? Does anyone have any coral/fish with temperature needs outside "regular" reef temps?

I keep my 76 and I keep only LPS, Z&P and other softies.

I keep mine around 78 during the day and it drops to 76 at nite. I keep some sps, softies, but primarily lps. Nothing unusual tho

 

[wysiwyg]

keep mine around 77 to 78 degrees

Mine is between 78-80 degs

Between 75 and 83 depending on the time of day/year -- the biggest swings happen during the Spring and Fall months, when the windows are open.

No ill effects with temps above 80?

I get worried at 82, but 84 is the danger zone IME. I keep my tank at 79, it goes up to 81 if it is really hot out.

Not that I have noticed over the last 5+ years since I have been running these temps.

Main display stays around 76.1-76.4 now....... 12g bedroom nano ranges 76.1-88.9 so far this summer..... even with those swings I haven't noticed any ill effects and the sps are all growing great IMO.

I keep mine at 78. Mostly FO right now but starting to collect some sps. Plant to add some z and p's as well.

Run mine at 80-84 with no problems. Heck last time I checked indonesia was 98 deg with coral exposed. lol.

My tank runs at 77 over night and 78 with the halides on.

80-82 fix th pole for higher temps...who runs at 72 anyway?

 

[strange33w]

I try to keep mine around 79 but in the afternoon it ends up close to 81

77-78 is what the controller is set for. Was in the 90's the other day and only got to 78.3 I try to keep it in this range
