Hello,

So windows in my apt are being replaced. Turns out my heater couldn't keep up. The tank dropped to 74 degrees for a couple of hours. I just plugged in a second heater on my Reef Keeper (had 75, added 100) should I not get it back up to temp right away or keep it at 76 ect.
 
You should be fine.

I run my tank around 76 degrees year round.

I would raise the temperature slowly.
