Vacation Coral Survival

Hey all,
So my girl and I went on vacation for two weeks to the UK. I was very worried about my corals and fish surviving the duration because I don't trust anyone with my corals regarding the lights because I don't have a chiller as yet so every time I turn on my MH's I have to use frozen bottles of water. One bottle every two hours for 6-8 hours is my usual schedule.
So living in the tropics, I went on a whim and placed all my corals in a 40gal long tank that I have sitting by the window that gets sunlight without the water heating up.
I had arranged with my neighbor to feed the fish every three days so I wasn't worried about them.
In the UK I was very uneasy but I just accepted the possible consequences when I got home.
When I got home, to my surprise, other than an algae bloom, the corals have never looked better. My fresh water guppies all died (don't know why) but SW fishes are still alive.
The pics don't do much justice and I had just scraped the glass so the stylophora and red sea fan are closed.
