1. I am curious at what temperature everyone keeps their tanks at ?

2. I am interested to know the effects of different temperature on the coral ?

3. Has anyone experimented with different temperatures and noticed any substantial response.

4. Why do you keep your temperature at ????

78-80 degrees normally

I noticed in the summer, between that massive heat wave we got at the beginning of the summer, and one of my heaters going screwy that my temps were hitting 86ish - 88, and my corals didn't look at happy, my fish seemed fine. LPS were kind of more retracted then normal. Went out and bought some AC units for the house, and unplugged the heater that kept heating, and everything looked happy again by the next day when temps were back to normal.

Links to other forums are just fine, so long as it's reference material that helps all members be better reefers.
