agreed. my temp doesn't change at all no matter how long my light is on. i can't imagine what my temp would have reached the other day if i was still using halides.

83 is my panic point as well. It hovers around 81-82 on really hot days like yesterday, but is typically around 80-81 I think. Today it maxed out at 80.6. If I recall correctly the ocean's reefs average highs are around 82-86 ? OR somewhere there abouts.

i'll bet if your reef is always at 83 it's no big deal. as someone said the swing seems to be deadlier than the peak temp if the swing is large enough.
