    Ok. I'm sure this has been a covered issue before but I'm having trouble finding it in old posts. I'm doing a reef tank. What is the IDEAL water temp. for me?

    Depends on what you keep.

    The most important thing to remember is to keep the temp steady. I keep mine steady around 78. Some things like it a little warmer some a little cooler but I've found 78 to be good for me. If you are a few degrees warmer or cooler that should be fine just as long as it remains constant. Hope this helps.
