80-82. I use two titanium heaters, one in sump, one in fuge.

 

[jmick]

My tank is fairly stable between 80-81. I also use two heaters, one is in fuge and one in display tank.

 

[angelspot]

my tank is kept at 78 with chiller

 

[maurice]

I keep mine at 80 with two titanium heaters also.

Mine stays between 79-81, but let me be the first to say loud and proud that in the wild, reef water fluctuates as much as 9 degrees in a single day.
There's no way ours should do that much, as other factors obviously mitigate that kind of swing; I'm just saying, temperature is a variable, and that's a good thing.

78-80

My heater is set at 82. Heater heats all night, lights heat it all day...sometimes to much.

Steady 81 - no heater or chiller. House is kept at 78.

At night mine is usually 79-80 and during the day (right now) its 82.4. So 79-82

When you come in from 90+ temp with 100+ humidity, 78 is GREAT!!

 

[fedukeford]

ive never been able to get me temp to stay high so mines always 70-73 is this bad?

 

[sweetdawn]

[murph145]

my tank is at 82-83 and i use a chiller... all corals seem fine i have a variety including softies, LPS, SPS and clams

 

[lubeck]

mine ranges 82-84; when summer became the fall it got as high as 85. i got worried and turned the titanium heater down over the corse of a day or two. and now two of my fish have ick

 

[escape2thewater]

Between 78-80 daily. No heaters or chillers just a/c kept at 76-78.

I think all tanks should have a heater....whatever your tank tops out at with lights on,then you should keep the heater set within 1 degree of that.
I keep my house at 70-72...tanks stay about 80-81.
