Default New reef tank doing great - Nano struggling in the heat

I have a fan on my reef tank to cool it. The ambient
room temp, depends on a lot of factors, but I have a
personal rule, that the aquarium temp is ok untill
it hits 86. If it hits 86, then the lights go out.
If the air conditioner is on, then the air temp is
kept at about 80.

What ambient temp do most of y'all keep your room(s)? I am on my
first reef and haven't started stocking yet. I keep my house at about
78 during the day and 75 at night. With halide lights, is this too
warm of an ambient room temp?

Thanks,
