    Tank temperature fine?

    I have a 90gal tank that I just set up not too long ago that has 85 lbs LR, LS and the usual clean up crew. It has been up and running for about 2 1/2 months. I am getting ready to put in fish, some softies, a pink tipped anemone and a couple of fish. (gradually over a 6 month span or more)
    My question is this: The water temp is a constant 82 degrees when the lights are on and about 80-81 degrees when they are off.
    My equipment is as follows:
    Amiracle Maxi Reef sump
    360 watts CFL lights with fans blowing on the ballasts
    MAG 7 in sump for Nautilus TE skimmer
    Gen X MAK 4 external return pump
    Lifegard Heater Module
    Aqua UV 15 w sterilizer
    2 Maxi Jet 1200 PH in tank for circulation
    1 Power Sweep PH in tank for circulation

    Is this temperature going to be alright for the livestock I have mentioned above? I do not want to add a chiller- but also do not want to doom any stuff that I am planning to put in there. The Inverts that I have already are thriving as well as getting some Coralline algae growing. The temp just concerns me.
