When should I expect SPS growth?

I just had a read into data log from apex, yesterday my temp swing is 74 to 81. I have beening running T5 and just changed to 2X 250 Radium, so my temp swing was not this big before. Majority of SPS have been doing good so far, with some of them showing LITTLE less PE (there are still good PE but slightly less than before) and little lighter color. I can not tell if this is due to bigger temp swing or because of light change. I am keeping close look if there is any futher sign of stress I will control the temp tighter to 4, 5 degree. I will post a separate thread and see what SPS keeper think about such big temp swing.

I can't tell you when you're going to get growth but I will say that when I added corals to my tank nothing grew for quite a while and then suddenly they took off and began to solidly encrust the rocks and grow out. It's almost like they were catching their breath and checking out the tank before beginning to grow.
