    I have a 120 gallon and i will start with fish only for a while so I can get comfortable with the hole salwater set up and then add corals.

    I have been reading and they are saying my water should be between 72 and 78 degrees.

    What do you guys keep your water temperature at?

    steady 79 degrees, but anywhere in the 72- 80 range works

    mine stays steady at 80, 76-80 is a good range to shoot for IMO
