Water Temperature

[marine bio 101]

What is the max temp someone has had their water rise to in a FOWLR tank. I used to have a 120 gallon tank but temp was always good because I used PC's for lighting. I now have setup a 210 gallon FOWLR and have some metal halide lighting. The temp I have seen it rise to is 83.8F. Is this a problem for a FOWLR setup?? Any input would be good. Thanks.

I would imagine that is just fine,my FOWLR is at a steady 80.....I wouldn't let it get too much higher though.

I keep mine at 80, but it got up to 89.1 once when my heater failed, no fish were affected.
