Default What is the temp of your tank?

I keep my reef at a constant 78 degrees fahrenheit, just wondering what you all keep yours at.

79 is usually my constant. It does fluctuate a little, being a nano and all

Mine is at 77-78 since Sept. as high as 81 in the summer. Hopefully it stays that stable for year 2.

76 to 82ºF My Neptune controller has this fun natural 'temperature variation' function that I've been using for the past two years. Whats nice about it is my heater and cooling fan don't have to work as hard because the tank already wants to cool down a bit in the winter then heat up in the summer for obvious reasons.

My average is between 79-80 but it will fluctuate one degree either way...depends on the time of day.
