    if you tank is normally like his over the years then i think that it should be fine, but if your tank has been up for less then 1 year it might be to high.

    not to sure.

    It's about two years old and I've never seen it above 80... All the corals look fine and the clownfish are acting retarded like usual...I put a fan on fan on it and broke down and shut the windows and turned the air on

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    My tank sits at 83 year around pretty much. I would prefer 80 F but 83 is OK.
