    77-82 is fine, as long as it isnt jumping from 77 at night to 82 during the day.

    Found this thread on 3reefs search engine.

    Answered my questions for my DT temp.

    I run a basement sump, and down there it's about 65ish, my Family room where the DT sits is set on 70 for winter, usaully lower at 67ish.
    And I run LEDs, but have a total of 6 DT power head/fans, and
    3 in the sump. 2 large ones- return pump and the PS, and one small that supplies the UV filter and DIY PHsoguard reactor.

    I have heaters going in the PS section of my sump.

    Everyone/thing in my DT seems to be happy currently running 76-78F degrees.

    77-82 is good. You can go a few degrees higher or lower without any issue, but you'll have less of a buffer at that point if there is a hot or cold day etc...
