well i went on a little vacation to our 39th annual reunion and i was sure to put everything on timers, i got a friend to feed the little guys and i set up the heater. well after returning i found that the heater setting were incorrectly read by me and the tank got as low as 70 degrees. the only thing that seems really stresses is a group of large polyps. all of them closes up and only 4 have opened back up in 3 days. what is the liklyhood that the others will open back up, or did i kill them?

Temp raises and falls with the cycle of the lights. genrally from 77 in the night to 82 in the day. but when i got back the tank was at 76 in peek of the day and the 70degree quote is an estimate.

if its just ur polyps having problem, then gv it time. raise it back slowly over a week period to 78. polyps r very tough, and some r exposed to heat and sun in open air of over 90 degrees out in the reef.
