what is the max temp marine fish can live at my tank is always at about 82 f

Welcome to Reef Frontiers!!!

I don't think 82ºF is that bad, unless in the summer it is higher than that? I think 78-80ºF is a good range to shoot for. Do you have anything to help cool the water if it gets higher?

Here is a Poll: What Temperature Is Your Tank?

Also, in the resource library: Temperature and Salinity Research

no i dont have a chiller just set the tank up new to it all just trying to get some usefull information and make sure be for stocking with fish everything is ok

Do you have a sump that can house a fan, or any form of cooling fans for the lights? I'm curious because when the summer months roll around, you may have a more difficult time keeping the temps down. Tell us a little bit about your system - size, equipment, what you are going to keep...etc etc

84-85 will be the temps when you start to have problems.

there is condensation in one of my heaters would that make the temp go up above normal sorry to be a pain but i would hate to see any fish die because of something stupid

If there is water drops inside one of your heaters remove it. That sort of situation never gets better only worse. You might check the thermostat on you heater that is still working and if you dont have it get a accurate thermometer. The little glass one always seem to be off to me. HTH Steve

Yes, take that heater out and dump it or return it, take no chances with it.
