I submitted a vote 80 but it's more like 78-82. Warmer on a hot summer's day. I don't panic until well above 86 or so, but it's hit 90 a few times this year and things lived through it (although there have been times it hit 90 in years past and things didn't always live, so who knows). What do I keep? Umm ... your basic broad spectrum I suppose. Softies LPS SPS anemones etc.
I don't know why, but I like to think of tank temp in C. My thermometer reads 26.1C. I had to think for a couple of seconds what 26 was in F before I responded. I can think of volume in terms of gallons no problem (maybe because measuring tank sizes in litres seems weird, a litre is just too small ... might as well measure in terms of pints or something), but temperature I think of in C. Maybe that's because temperature in C is something tangible to me, e.g., it is 20C outside today, or it is -18C or whatever .. I always have to stop and think about the temperature when I watch a US station and they say "there will be a high of 5 today" and I'm like .... is that cold? I have no idea.
Incidentally, when I dived the GBR the temperature was 26C.
