;) Just curious what everyone kept their tank temp at in F? Seems to vary a lot between aquarists. I keep all of my tanks at 78.5F.

Depends on the fish in the tank.
I keep my Melanotaeniidae family rainbows at 75-76*
Pseudomugilidae at 78-79*
Amazon tank at 79*
Goldfish 74*
Most of my other tanks are 79*

I keep mine at an average 78'F, but it seems to vary by 1-2 degrees.

Just kidding.
My betta is about 76 and the gourami tank is 78 and the rainbow tank is non-existant at the moment.

OMG I would die with the heat up that high. ARGH! I never thought I'd say that until I moved from Guelph to VA, Ms. Bubbles. I can't STAND the heat down here. I'm walking around in shorts and a t-shirt almost year around. I don't wear pants or a coat unless it gets below 40F and that doesn't happen very often.
Ugh. I miss Canadian snow. Not the wind and the chill index, just the snow :)

I turn the room heater off at night so even with the tank heater it goes between 74-78 depending on the weather. I don't useally see more than a 2* difference in any particular day though.

Between 72 and 80F, depending on the tank and the temperature outside. I have four tanks running though one is cycling and so it's at the lower end with the Clowns and Shark at the high end.
