whats the temps you guys keep your tank at for best color and grow...

78 or cooler. Some will melt it if gets much warmer than that, especially the deepwaters.

78-80, my reefkeeper turns on heater if temp hits below 78 and turns off if it goes over 80, lights and some pumps off if temp over 83.

well then question is that my zoas are open real good when the actinics come on for two hours and then all the lights come on ...then about 2- 3 hours they start closing up...nothing is bothering them so ..any ideas...im also using t 5 lighting so i dont think it too brite.....
