Established corals raised in tight parameters did not survive when subjected to the new varying conditions.
I've definitely noticed this over the years. My old 90-gallon reef with halides over it used to fluctuate from 79-80F at night to 84-85F during the day. It did great. Would it have done better if I tightened up that temperature swing and kept the peak lower? Probably. However, the corals were very resilient.

I think this also true of other parameter swings too, such as KH.
