Above 85, some corals, anemones, and clams others start to expel their photosyntheic zooxanthellae and bleach, so you definitely want to stay below this temperature. Most of my marine reference books set the "optimum" range between 74-78o. This keeps you well below the danger point and the lower temperature will hold dissolved oxygen better for oxygen sensitive organisms.
