On Fenner's
website he doesn't come right out and say "do this, don't do that", but he does validate people who are keeping their aquaria in the 75 range. In his book "The Conscientious Marine Aqaurist", he states "Temperature: 72 to 80 degrees Fareneit" is the target range -- he also states that stability is more important than an absolute number. The Shimek article and related followup both state that variation is normal, and temps above 80 are basically necessary to avoid stressing the animals.
