I keep my tank at 26c which Is about 77 Fahrenheit I think,part of my cycle in my tank runs through a chiller,so I have my thermometer turned up a little higher to 26.5,my chiller regulates temp but make sure you have enough pumps and extra fans to move the water thus not creating dead spots...

Well I wouldn't add to many more fish...I'd say your nearly on your limit,add some corals if it's a reef tank this will bring some more colour in to your tank

Can you upload some photos?

I'm not so keen on using the steam idea however I think it would work,I have 3 tanks set up 2 freshwater and my saltwater so for me I've always got RO laying around,when you do water changes what are you putting back in?once calibrated in RO the refractometer will read 0

No I fish in there too,at present I have one common clown,a cherry baslet,a cardinal,and a pipefish(was a pair but one died)this week I am adding a mandarin,I have done some mods the red sea design makes it very simple to do this though,I added an external filter and a chiller also and both run...

I would still say it's best to re-calibrate it after every 2weekly water changes,but asking your local fish store to check it against there's is always a good idea

I have a D&D refractometer,I use RO (pure)to zero it,although that they are very accurate you must remember to calibrate every time you use it,this can be the tricky part!so unless I think I need to find exactly the salinity in my tank I just use my trusty hydrometer 
