I've had issues with acropora stn at that high of temps. I'd try to keep it betweent 76-80

Yea I know I was just saying I've had tanks in the past get that hot before I keep my tanks at 80

Yeah mine used to get that high as well and my fish were fine. Just feel like a reef does better at a lower temp

I keep my 90g 81* year round Things seem to grow faster now not sure it was temp difference but it seems to be, used to keep it at 78* nothing grew this fast the 81* was a fluke accident when I was in hospital for 2 weeks , wife fish sat guess you could say good accident

Ya should be fine I think if not I'll buy a chiller and seaweed if my fiancé even touched anything while i was gone everything would be dead lol

well I had to teach her as I spend a lot of time in hospital , now I know she can be trusted , I had a service come in a little over a year ago and they messed up my tanks they just dosed the hell out of the tank not taking readings , and I even told them I don't dose my tanks ,
so now the heat is on my wife if anything goes wrong but she knows to call me if things get crazy lol , I know I can trust her not to add junk without asking , plus I'm more comfortable knowing someone who knows how I keep my tank is maintaining it while I'm away

Haha ya I've tried teaching mine to do everything she would rather just look pretty and go shopping lol.
