Grr..temp dropped to 74, coming back up..now what?

I goofed and had the back sump circulation turned off for feeding, and a crisis arose which called me out of the house at 11 AM. I just got back at 6PM and noticed some corals were not open, taking a quick check, the temp had dropped to 74. Normally 79.5.

Of course its warming back up now, but any thoughts?

I think you should be fine. Mine dropped to 70 overnight once (similar reason). Warming it back up is no worse than acclimating after shipping.
