A 22 degree temp drop is a lot. If you can bring it back up slowly you should be ok with minimal loss.

I guess the question and to figure out is how did this happen and maybe figure out some redundancy next time.

I keep a cheap sticker temp guide on the side so I can quickly glance and my tanks temp. Then look at my apex and inkbird for exact. Then when in doubt I bought a Hanna thermometer.

Redundancy in this hobby is the key for long term success imo.
I have a cheap sticker, but never really bothered to look at it. The temp drop was 3 degrees celsius. (from 25 to 22). I have amped it back up throughout the day to 25 (it hovers between 25-26 now), but they still look a bit sad. I guess it won't be fixed in one day, so I'll give it another day of normal temps and hopefully they'll open back up completely and be happy.

Imo the Saxby setting is pretty week. I do not understand the bouncing around values but it does work for many.
I run 8-16hds at first 4 100% the rest 50%. Been on this schedule for around 1.5 years now with sps, lps, and nems. Great color and growth.
I do dose dsr trace and do 10% a month WC on all 3 systems.

A year, or year and a half?
Mime took about a year to settle in. My best guess is this is the first tank I’ve started with dry rock and dry sand. I would move acans. Hammer frogspawn. Zoas. Mushrooms etc from one tank to another on separate occasions and they would never fully open or look happy. Parameters looked good on paper. So did par and flow. Move them back to the other tank next day they were back to puffing up could never figure it iut

This is what I run on both my 210 with 64’s and my 110 with 3 32’s. You will notice that my times are really late, but that is so I can enjoy when I’m around instead of working etc. my tanks are in basement so get very little outside light.
I got it off their site, don’t remember whose but think he was from Pakistan or something. Experimented with different ones and liked this and things were going solid before a rearranged my 210. 110 still good.

Open your app, click on that tank, click lighting, click on the star, then share. I shared to myself by text then copied and paste to post.

I run a modified zaxby schedule similar to yours. I looks like you max out around 75% at your " high noon" light seem all good to me. Parameters are in line also. So maybe flow, placement and or trace elements. I assume you're dosing the big 3, so....
