At what temperature do you keep your tank(s) at?
Like the title says! At what temperature do you keep your tank(s) at? I keep my 180 gallon mixed reef at 79F-82F during the Summer and 75F-78F during the Winter.

i dont freak out about it. corals are still growing and all fish are still alive. out in the wild, reefs can have HUGE temp fluctuations in a matter of minutes. |

75-77 pretty steadily. i am curious about letting it do what it wants ... to a degree that is. As a hobby, we do keep it under some pretty tight control compared to nature. might have to experiment
