NM Reef tank parameters??

[colcoral]

I saw your pictures a while back and I was wondering where do you keep your salinity and water temperature? I have read about such a wide range in those two areas and even on the board people have different opinions, but I've seen your pictures.
Thanks in advance from your northern neighbor.
