Default best temperature for reef?

Just got aqualogics drop in chiller. Now I can set my tank to maintain one constant temperature all the time. Currently my tank fluctuated between 78-81 degrees, sometimes as high as 83 on hot summer days.
Question for all you pro reefers out there. What would you set temperature at? 78, 79, or 80 degrees? With this new chiller, I shouldn't ever have any fluctuations in tank water temperature. What is the constant ocean temperature where sps are usually collected?
Currently have some monitpora, staghorns, birdsnest, tabling acros,(sps)
for lps, have the usual gsp's, bubble, candycane, mushrooms, zoas, gigantic toadstool,frogspawns.
