    if your AC is at 70... then the lowest your tank would go is 70. Factor in your lights/pumps and any other equipment that is running, and the temperature would not likely drop below 73 or so. So you really have nothing to worry about. Ive seen my tank drop down to 65 one winter for an entire day, and all my fish/coral survived.

    Don't worry!
