The adaptor I used for my wavemaker and return pump somehow failed over night and they were off for approximately 10 hours. I’ve turned them back on using another adaptor. I’ve done a small water change with the water I had available and it I’ll do a larger water change soon.

The only livestock I have are two small clown fish that are currently hiding in a nem that is at the back of the tank so I can’t see the fish well, however normally they would be out swimming by now. I have lps and soft coral which are showing mixed reactions.

I’ve added some stability and prime but is there anything else I can do in the meantime to increase oxygen.

It’s a small tank 52 litres.
 
I think temperature would probably be the only real issue, assuming the heater is where the return pump is.
 
The best you can do is just turn everything back on. If the clowns are fine and corals are just upset, I think it should be fine. I'm glad it worked out.

Temp has dropped to 21 degrees so I’ve added a second smaller heater to bring it back up.

I can’t really see the clowns as they’re in the nem but they must be alive, they just aren’t swimming about as normal.
