Default little help planted tank

Does anybody know what the ideal water temperature a planted tank should be? This is my first foray in the freshwater planted tank scene. Thanks.

Ideally a planted tank is about 76 F assuming you have some fish. You can go up to 80 F but the plants begin to suffer a bit. If you have no fish at all, you can probably don't even need a heater and they will grow.

I have no fish yet, I want to have the plants established before I add fish. Thanks though, I'll raise the heat to 76F.
