Question FOWLR Temp

[nyc reefer]

Him fellow reefers in your opinion what is an acceptable temp for a FOWLR tank? I know reefs need a stable lower temp but am curious about a FOWLR tank.

During summer you could go 81-82 degrees.

The lower the better, as oxygen saturation in the water is inversely related to temperature. The warmer, the less oxygen. If you have a certain fish load at 70F, at 80F, the fish load is less.

Thanks, so far been holding steady at 79 so that should be fine
