Interesting question. You don't see the LED manufacturers talking about this much do you?

I have increased mine from 78 to 80 as well. Just to see how the corals react. I am really curious to see how it makes a difference as the temperature in the ocean decreases dramatically with depth (I remember being frozen after a couple deep scuba dives and swimming on the surface to warm up).

Im hoping the ones closer to the surface were growing faster not only because of the the increase in light but also warmer temps.

The test will start today lol

With the warmer weather my tank maxes out @ 80.5F (low of 79.5F before heater kicks in)

Anyone else see changes in tank growth?

Yes. At the beginning of this thread, I decided to try raising my temp to 79. Since then I've noticed increased growth on my SPS.
