Would 80 degrees be ok for this tank?

I have kept all those at 80-82 without any difficulties. It does depend on which kind of cories as some are heat intolerant. I think the pandas do the worst at higher temps...but don't take my word for that. I ahve always had bronze, albino and sterbais.
Should be fine, the blue rams actually appreciate a bit warmer water anyways but as steph said the specific cory species will vary. I kept aeneus and elegans at that range no problem.
I too tend to keep my tanks at close to 80. I set the AC in the house at that temp as well, this is all in an attempt to avoid massive fluctuations in the temp as desert heat gets quite high during the summer days.
I keep bronze and emerald cories, as well as copper rasboras, in my planted discus tank @ 84F. They all do well, and have for many months (1 & 1/2 years for the Cories). Remains to be seen whether this temp will result in they're not living as long as they might at lower temps, however - we'll see.
