So what's the coolest water that YOUR frags have ever survived? Did you take any special steps during the acclimation process?
 
I have had sps come in water as low as 60 degrees. Just acclimated slow and everything worked out well
 
I had a deliver from florida last thanksgiving that was a day late and stuffed in a cold warehouse over night, I lost all my sps but my euphylia and zoas survived. I would guess the water at 60 degrees or so. I never did take a measurement of that.
 
I've had stuff come in about 60F too. It depends on the coral. LPS did Ok but I lost about half the sticks that came in.
 
These were all SPS; four to be exact but a couple pretty high end ones (otherwise they would've come in on time).
 
I remember hurricane Irene I had a power outage my temp dropped down to 65 loss all SPS. Goodluck, hope yours survive!
