Hi squawkbox, I'm not experienced enough honestly to advise on whether the plants fared better. I've set as low as 25.0 and as high as 30.0 (to treat ich the past 10 days). As the Teco chiller is set to kick in with a 1.5 DegC variance, if I set to 25.0, it will fluctuate between 25.0 to 26.5 DegC. Without chiller, my tank corner temperature goes as high as 31 DegC.
I will probably settle at 27.0-28.0 range so as to reduce the kick in in the long term.
I would heed Shad0w's advice as he's stated here regarding the plants though.
