Heater isnt working in 640 gallons tank

Lethality starts at 62 degrees. You've got quite a lot of leeway. Watch your ammonia: the worms seem to be the most vulnerable to low temperatures. But you should be ok for a bit so long as your house heat stays around 70.

It's a pro heat 1500 titanium heater. Not really sure if it's inline or not. Not really sure what you mean about inline

Thanks I actually keep my house at 67 lol. But I did raise it last night to 70. So worse case even at 70 you have room to go. Thanks good to know but not trying to push things I know once one thing goes others are close to follow even in 600 gallons of water

My experience is from an 8 day power-out with a winter storm, no light, no heat, no generator, no pump. The rock and sand hold onto heat longer than the water, and your corals should come through fine. The primary deaths I suffered really were around the 7th day at 62.1 degrees with hand-aeration (pouring water). And the corals came through fine. The lower temperatures actually helped, because they retard chemistry, as in decay, death, etc, and make the water hold more oxygen. But hopefully you will never have to go there.

Thanks all. Tank is ok
