I was puzzled when reading this. Maybe in the ocean due to something unknown? I have personally seen all the croceas & maximas in a holding system die at 84 degrees, so I always shot for a max of 82 at the peak, with no chiller.
I prefer 78-80 though as my target range now. Havent lost a tridacna yet with this temp.
