there is so many mixed opinions but not a lot of explanation to back it up, thank you for any feedback

It all depends on the animal life you want to keep. White Cloud Minnows are happy in the upper 60s. Discus and German Blue Rams need temps over 80.

What do you want to keep?

We will mainly be keep platys at the minute, we're not too sure about what other breeds would be suitable for us yet

Platys tolerate a wide range. I keep mine at 78. I'd look for fish comfortable in a mid to high 70s range.
