What is the lowest temp that will yield good results with a full mixed reef (Softies, LPS and SPS)
 
Around 68 things start to get finicky, polyps retract and there are no extensions.

I read a thread somewhere, where someone kept it around 68-71F because they were keeping a bandit angel in a fully stocked reef.
 
blah my poll is not good from the main page i should have had lowest... whoops
 
Yea,lol. I selected 80 on the home page. Perhaps a mod or someone can edit it? Im not sure,lol.

I would never let a tank get any colder than 72, in an extreme case. On a normal day my tanks are in the 78-80 range
