I have had my tank at 76 degrees and have read that some people on here have theirs at 80 degrees. Is my temp ok or should I raise it up to 80. I have a pacific blue, powder blue, pelewensis butterfly, flame angel, and 2 clowns.
 
Your temp is fine - pretty much anywhere between 76-82 is in the ideal range. The more important aspect is keeping the temperature consistent - don't let it fluctuate widely during the day.
 
With the amount of fish you have in your tank I would keep the temp where it is rather than raising it up. Higher temp means faster metabolism which means more output.
