Temp settings

[MDGraves]

I would like to see what others are setting thier temps at, I was going to go with 75-76 as I have read that natural reefs are 73-77
What is the right temp???

i run at 78, but it is hard to maintain under 80 in summer, no chiller, just a/c
sg 1.025

myself i try to keep it at 75 to 76, as say 78 or 79 ,i find the metabolism is  less active,more beneficial  ,which equals less stress and happier environment,now this also depends on the rest of the parameters ,but this seems to work best for me

I keep mine at 74-76 and all seems good no problems

Hmmm, I had it around 79, but haven't checked it for months.  Should probably grab the thermometer out of my kid's guppy tank.
