    Oh wow, yeah I didn't even see the temp the first time through ::)

    Those two will do it. You might want to try brushing off the GSP's and moving them to a higher flow area. They may still make it. Also, keep an eye on your PH closely. That high of a temp could reduce oxygen levels which will in turn also lower the PH.
    And now you know why I avoid ALL coralsuck products :-/

    That's exactly what happened. If forgot to mention the PH was lowest on the scale yesterday and the dKh was 6. I added a couple spoons of buffer last night. Slowly bringing that back up.

    If you are not running one now, I would add an airstone. The drop is due to elevated CO2 levels.
    Once the temp comes back down, you may overshoot the PH if you added buffer.
