Per usual, things always take longer than you think they will. My sitter had to bail, and I'm not sure I can get the return back on-line tonight. If I can't, I have plenty of flow in the DT, but do I need to put some in the sump as well?

The heater is in the sump as well, but I doubt the temperature will be an issue.
 
You're good. I wouldn't sweat it. A little flow in the sump for O2 exchange is a good idea.
 
Flow should be ok, but I would throw the heater in for good measure if you have some sps or other temperamental coral
 
No expert here... but would it be good to bio filter (live rock, Matrix, bio balls or whatever) damp. I would imagine it would keep it alive.

Thanks Matt. I have two vortechs and two tunzes in the DT. I'll throw my korallia in my sump for some O2. Thanks guys! Hopefully I'll have everything replumbed tomorrow, though gluing things has probably caused me to have to pretty much start over.
 
What everyone else said. I forgot to turn my return pump on after feeding b4 I headed out to work. 13 hours later I come home and realized it was still off, turned it back on, and everything was just fine. I keep my apt aronud 70 degrees so the water temp dropped, but only a couple degrees.
