Same with me. With my old MH lights, I would switch to reverse photoperiod at that point and turn on my AC unit.

Well, I did put it on the poll so I shouldn't be surprised to see a result there. Still, I'm surprised to see a result there!

My tank was at 84 Tuesday and I didn't have a panic attack so I guess it must be higher than that.

I voted for 79 degrees, and would only panic if it went over 80-81F, but it never has
My tank is very steady @ 79F and I have no issues as my heaters and chiller work well on my controller
