Sorry I hate Fahrenheit so I'll talk Celsius my tank is set at 26-28 degrees

I've found that this is the best temperature range for my tank inhabitants everything maintains a good balance and decent growth rates if I go higher I end up with algae blooms and during the summer months I find it much easier to regulate tank temperatures and during the winter months it maintains a relatively steady temperature varying less than a degree

Default C vs F

using Fahrenheit is gooder IMHO,, more granular

My tank is set for 26 Celsius (usually 26.3 on digital thermometer). My heaters vary by a couple degrees but I have yet to see it really move lower then 25.5. I find the my fish and coral are happy at this temperature and the only time it fluctuates any more then previously described is water changes.

Aquarium temperature is measured in Fahrenheit, unless you are in Europe. Please move to the appropriate continent if you wish to discuss further.
