I think the important thing is that: 1. the temp doesn't climb too fast, which it typically doesn't. 2. The temp doesn't stay at the high end for too long, again, it doesn't. I hit 80/81 at around 6 or 7pm, and then the halides cut out at 8pm. Anyway, my corals seem to be fine with it.

I actually gave some thought to raising the low end of the temp up as well, but then thought that the temp would actually get higher (82-84) seeing as your starting temp in the morning is already higher.
I'm currently about the same as you. My low temp of 77-78 in the morning (7am) and raises to about 81-82 by around 4:30-5pm when the lights shut off..
