71 temp for a reef, how bad??

IMO you will be fine Mo Joe

I was away for Christmas last year and for 11 months of the year my tank does not need a heater , it just needs the chiller
I forgot to plug my heater in for January 2010 and when I came back my tank was below 70 degrees
everything had shrivelled up , but once bought back to temp, everything made it OK

Zero loses

Thanks Steve makes me feel better. Happy to report I gradually brought it back to 77. All fish are present & acting fine, all corals are good, only my sinularia leather shriveled but is perking up again.

Appreciate everyones help & concern I think all is going to be fine, phew!

 

I dont even use heaters.. my AC in the house does a good enough job..

 

Good thing is you'll never do that again!
Glad to hear it all worked out ok and there was no loss.

 

Actually my tank dropped to like below 63 F and I heated it back up and everything was fine. I believe it was God who helped> I Prayed He Helped
