My ranco 2 stage controller is coming in a few days and I'd like some help setting it up. I'd like to keep my tank temp at 80 degrees. what should the heater on/off and fans on/off temp. be set at? thanks.

It's impossible to keep a tank at exactly 80 degrees (or any temperature THAT specific), but you can keep it to plus or minus one degree of that.
I'd set your heat stage to 79 and your cool stage to 81.
If it's a reef, I might suggest 78 degrees as your target temperature though. 80 is warm... doesn't give much room before it gets dangerously so.
