Default Temperature

What temp are you keeping your tanks at?
I have read so many conflicting suggests.
The New Marine Aquarium by Michael Paletta suggests 74-76F
I have seen people run between 79-83F

Whats best?

79 most times, but I'll kick it up to 92 when my chiller fuse blows. Not recommended for long term temp though...

80 to 82 degrees.

I read an article online a while back, I think there is a link off RC or its magazine, that says real reef temperatures are in the low 80's.

I shoot for 77-78, that way if the heater goes and sticks on I have a little more time to notice it before things start getting nuked.
