I keep my tank around 77 and it seems to be doing well. Sometimes at night it drops a bit to 75 but I have never seen any problems.
I was in the carribeans last year and the water temp was nice hot 85. Algaes, hermits, urchins, snails on the rocky shores were soaking in the rays at a nice 88F - I was a little shocked to hear the temps but everything was healthy. Not sure how but they were.....
