80.7 F is the temp in my tank.

Is it better to be at 80 than at 78? It does not really feel warm when I stick my arm in the tank at 78.....

You'll get a lot of opinions on this.. There was a long discussion on this several months ago where one poster (one of the mods I believe) posted some fiugres showing the average temp on reefs around the world was like 81.
Now, having said that, I just got back a couple of weeks ago from diving the north end of the Great barrier Reef and the temp was at 74-76.
So, like was said earlier, consistency is probably better than anything.

The general concept is, the temp should be the same as the natural environment of the livestock. Not to go below the highest low required parameter, and not above the lowest high requirement of any individual livestock.
The stability of the temp is most important.
Water may not feel warm to you but you're body temp is 98.6.
