i dont think it will hurt your rock any, even if it killed any beneficial bacteria theres no way it got it all and it will just repopulate.

the nem may take it worse theyre sensitive to temp changes and id say your herm it will be just fine

always good to run a tank off 2 smaller heaters and at least 2 powerheads on different breakers, if something was to happen theres a back up.

controller is also a good purchase
cheers

Man is that a true statement. My tank would have taken a few tumbles if it wasn't for my Profilux.

Hope you go home to good news!

Don't think you'll have a problem. I've had crabs, snails and live rock run at room temp for 3 months without any difficulty. Anemones are also pretty resilient.

should't affect anything drastically.

If you have space, always nice to have 2 hears in your tank instead of 1 powerfull one.

This way one becomes a backup to the other.
