I went away on vacation for 10 days (famous last words) and while I was gone there was a big storm which knocked the power out. The person who was watching my tank freaked out when one of the controllers wasn't working because it was on a GFI circuit that flipped. Instead of hitting the reset button on the GFI, he unplugged all of the cords from my controller and plugged them into the wall. This of course turned my MH lights on non stop for the last 4 days. To top that off, he also unplugged the fan that was over the tank.
End result was temps in the mid to high 80's in the tank, a few dead corals, and a bunch more that are way lighter in color or bleached.
Question is, where to go from here. I did a big water change and brought the temps down slowly to about 82. Should I tun the lights off for a few days? What is the best course of action to save the corals?
