Welcome imgrtful,
I think you will get a wide range of thought here regarding temp. IMO, I like to keep a reef in the range of 77- 80. JMO Barry |

IMO that is a little cold for a reef tank. I would agree with the rest of the posted replies. I keep my tank in the range of 77-81 deg'. Check out the link it is a good one. But just remember in this hobby (what may work for one my not work for another.) Good luck!
