I run mine around 79-80, although a bad thermometer had my tank at 86 for a long time before I noticed, only thing that had a problem with it was a favia that receded.

78-82ish

 

[sdhinds81]

I have been having problems with my tank recently. A couple of neww frags died could a temp. of 71 73 F do this?

 

[Atarax]

yes, depending on the species

 

[coraldiva]

I keep mine at 78-82 also

If the corals weren't acclimated to the temperature or it changed quickly, absolutely.

I keep my tank "cold" at around 74-76. I've heard so many horror stories about exploding and malfunctioning heaters that I pulled them out of ALL my tanks. I have to keep the house warm for my parrots, so, all in all it works out very well, and it's one less piece of equipment I have to worry about!

I keep my tank 76-78. I might bump it up to 78-80 for the summer though.

 

[Justin74]

80-82 because of the warming trend here. Durring the dead of summer though it'll kreep up to 83 pretty quickly though. Otherwise durring winter and spring I keep it between 79-81.

Mine got up to 85.1 the other day. This morning it's 74.8. No problem. I've already unplugged the heater for the summer.

75-84 over the course of the year. it got up to 88 once, and i lost a fresh cut frag. (last summer). other than that, all the high temps did was cause my corals to close for a bit. however, it soon went back down to 84ish, and everything opened back up.

yesterday my tank was around 79.

I used to run between 78-80 but since i went to 250w mh's, now i run between 80.5-82

 

[DJ44]

80-82 for the past year and my corals are great!

 

[JayB1224]

Keep mine at 79-82.5 year round with 2x250w mh's.

summer time 78-81 at the highest.. right now since it cooled down the last couple of days the tank hasn't gone over 79.8
