Mine sat at 71 for a few days, everything is fine. I took it back up to 79 over about 12 hours.

How many heaters do you have in the DT/sump normally? I was advised to have at least 2, so I have a couple of titanium 200 watt heaters in my sump 1 set @ 79 the other @ 78 for backup on controllers and separate circuits . seems to work well so far as long as I don't have a power outage "fingers crossed", You will probably be ok bringing your temp up slowly. Good luck
