so what is the optimum temperature? Does it vary by what you are keeping in the aquarium?

A good temperature to keep is between 76-77 constant. However, this might be a little unrealistic for some. I set my chiller to cycle on at 80 and cycle off at 79. My stone garden grew thick and dense.

Yeah I was sweating it out and finally relented and got a chiller and it was one of the best things I did. Not so much topping up, set it and forget it. I think in texas with strong lighting you gotta have one.
