Pretty sure that happened over night.
I decided to frag up some pieces and spread them throughout the frag rack. Superglued well up onto the flesh so hopefully something makes it

Man I can believe my tank still is alive. We had a power outage yesterday and my return most have been plugged into a default off outlet after loss of power on my apex.....Back chamber of the AIO frag tank was a nice 78F, dispaly....71.5F! I'm slippin big time lately. This was a temp holding tank while my 180g is being built and I just renamed outlets instead of reprogramming 
. Lesson learned. When my 180g arrives I'll be resetting all outlets and labeling them with a label maker along with cords.
Some pieces had missing flesh at the base. They've been super glued to over living flesh. Original frag RTN colony is still alive and fine along with all frags. Birdnest colonies are not looking hot but are so large and compact I dont know where to begin. I'll probably frag a back-up of each and ride it out.
Anyone have a tank hit that low of a degree and be okay? I choked back my return pump so the temperature raised very slowly back to 77.5F so hopefully that helped reduce some stress.

Thanks bud, suprisingly everything's still alive and i see no new signs of RTN
I'm usually comfortable with raising it 1dkh at a time, if it's going to be the only change for a little while. But ideally I like . 5dkh a day, and that split up if possible. That way there's practically no risk of Alk seeing issues.
Though being super low, I'd be conflicted. Do I bring it up asap or stay conservative?
