    74 or 75 is perfect esp is you don't have fish from the extra warm Red Sea.

    I finally turned the AC on last weekend and my husband couldn't believe it since I'm usually **tching at him for turning it on or having it set so cold. Anyway, I did confess the reason I had turned it on was for the tank LOL

    I would be more concerned with fish (oxygen) than the coral.

    I been there my friend! I took small canisters and put water out of my tank in them and froze them, then I would put those in the tank. once all melted add more water and do it all over again. I agree with those that have said very temporary you will see little effect, but eventually that high temp will get the best of your corals
