Usually around 25c Deg. (78f) but last summer before i put the fans in the hood the tank sat constantly at 30-31c Deg (86f) with no apparent problems at all.

81° at all times.
Used to keep it at 79°, but then I added the CLS, and the pump (even counteracted by the fans) brought it up to 81°.
Was worried for a bit...but notice everything actually seemed to be a little better. So I just leave it there.
Unfortunately, to keep it there, I have to keep the AC in the house at 72° hehehe

I try to keep it around 78, sometimes it climbs to 82, during the summer. Kept in the basement where its always on the cool side.

I run about 79-81.
Sometimes if I forget to turn the ac on it gets up to 85, and I've had no problems, but I wouldn't recommend it as a regular temp.

81 deg F using a controller, but I don't use a chiller (AC at 72 in the study where the tanks are located)

Glad I'm not the only one! hahaha
I'm sure a chiller would be more cost effective, in the long run...but there's a diff between an electric bill that's mayb $10-20 more a month, and coming up with $300-400 on the spot for a chiller! hahaha
