    That should be fine. I keep my tank at 79-80 degrees, but on some summer days it can get up to 84 degrees on occassion.

    Done, now I do live in Canada, so if I'm buying beer then you'll have to cross the border to get it (feel free to bring some frags with you, as the US has way better selection).
