IMO stability is the main issue with regards temp. at the higher ranges your livestock will have increased metabolism and less oxygen available in the water column.
Psycho, if your tank gets too warm try and get one of those large fans and have it blow over the sump. It does increase evaporation though. If need be add some PC fans to your canopy.
my tank is set at 26, it is dropping to 23 overnight now, and that's with a temp controller and 500w of heating Think I am going to have to add more heaters.
Im fortunate in the sense that the tank stands in my TV room.
The TV room has those old wooden blocks, so its quite warm in there.
Therefore i use a tiny 150W heater. Lucky me. Its set only on like 24Deg.
But with lights and pumps the Temp runs at 26Deg.
