I try to not hit the mid 80's (midwest pond). As my pond warms up, I start moving the aeration to night time. Keep in mind that my aeration system can still turn my pond over several times in a 12 hour period. It's important to keep the pond turning over at least once a day should you cut back the run time and twice a day makes me feel more confident.
Mike's southern pond has multiple species so his experience should cover most cases in general. But, his high 90's may pose problems in a different BOW with different variables.
IIRC, on one of the Wednesday evening PB live videos, Mr. Lusk answered the warm water temp question with a basic concern of anything in the high 80's (EDIT: He says keep it below 83F to say on the safe side See my next post). He was probably being conservative, but that's were I hang my hat too.
