We were at 75-77 and just raised it up last night to 78-80. It seems to be holding steady at 80.

Heater comes on at anything under 78.5
Fans go on over anything 79.5
I average at about 80-81 so far. We'll see what happens in the summer <gulp>

78/79 with the use of a chiller. Probably the 1 piece of equipment that had the biggest effect on my SPS, other than my calcium reactor.

I keep mine at alow of 78 to a high of 81. My heater keeps it above 77 and chiller keeps it under 81. I have some heat issues in my tank and when lights are on I don't need a heater in winter , it just keeps it from going to low at night. In summer don"t have to use a heater just the chiller and AC in the room.

I've got my heater set at 78, and it swings between 80 and 77. In the past, I've turned it up a bit in the summer because my AC wasn't able to keep up. It's not the higher or lower temps that stress a tank, it's the swinging of the temp that causes the stress.

77.5 to 81.1 are my ranges depending on the ambiant temperature in the room. I never let it drop below 77.5 though.
