Should not be an issue for the short term. Long term wise, you may want to reduce it to ard 28.5.

My Setup:

3x2x2 tank with IOS

Equipment List:

Chiller: Artica 1/5HP

Chiller Pump: Sicce 4000

Return Pump: OR3500

Skimmer: Deltec APF600

Wavemaker: Tunze Wavebox/2x Hydor K2/SCWD wavemaker

Lights: DElighting 2x150W MH + 2x 39W T5 Atinic

FR: Skimz

FR Pump: Atman AT-104

Tubby ATO, Kalkweisser Reactor with magnetic stirrer.

Not really but this is only if you are keeping indo/pacific corals.

so if my tank temp is usually at 28.5 but sometimes rises to 29.5 is it a problem for lps

Different corals have different tolerance to temperature. Keeping corals within the range of 26 - 28 is a good guide... 29.5 is considered relatively high...

Do some reading up on the corals that you have or going to purchase.. there are many sites that states their temperature requirements (eg Liveaquaria)...

The temperature requirements may not be very accurate e.g. Ricordea Yuma is stated as requiring a temperature of between 22 to 25.5 degC on liveaquria. Frankly where the Yuma is collected at (Philippines/Indonesia), the temperature will seldom if ever reach 22 degC. In fact according to liveaquria, all corals are supposed to be kept at temperatures between 22 to 25.5 degC.

anything below 30 degree is okie for most corals. the trick is to have stable temp. not like day time 29 night time 25

too large diff temp range often stress corals more than having stable temp.....
