A few posts up said that running it at 82 and above grew corals faster as the metabolism is raised but the downside is if you are suffering from algae problems then this is accelerated aswell. The other issue with running higher is less room for mistakes, you may also start to bleach corals at 86 and above so this is a really fine line.

With that said this summer I will try and run my tank at 80-82 to see if that makes any difference in growth, it will also probably not run the chiller and heater as much.
