Ideal temperature for SPS
Granted, different SPS prefer different temperature ranges, but I am wondering what those of you with outstanding success in keeping SPS keep your systems at. I do not have a lot of SPS now but am starting to add more. I was running my tank at 77F but decided to increase the temp to 79. I would go as high as 80 but my ViaAqau Titanium heaters default to 79 when they power back up.

IME, 79 works best for me. I've tried everything from 76 to 84, and sitting in the middle gives me the best results.

Damn; looks like I am the only 80 I have kept the tank anywhere between 78 to 82 without any noticeable difference.
