Pump failure. :-(

So, I am not 100% when my pump failed, I just know that it did. In the morning my plants looked great, I came home late in the afternoon and checked them out and there they were, piles of green leaves.
I instantly checked the pump, saw it was dead, and replaced it with my back up. I misted the plants and got the new pump feeding/watering them again.
This morning the leaves are wilting and it doesnt look like they are recovering at all! :-(
What should I do? Can i do anything??
Oh yea, I am running a drip setup with 8 cfl lights using rockwool.

every time i mist my plants they wilt so i would say stop misting and just keep up with the water/nute schedual, make sure you don't overwater though.

Dr, thanks. Should I kill my fan or make any other changes?
Right now they are on the same cycle as before, getting fed 3 times a day during their 18 hour light cycle.

keep fans on, and just watch your rockwool, check them before the next waterings to see if the rockwool is still slightly damp but on the dry end, if they are still pretty wet, you might want to extend the time of the next watering by an hour. and check back, just keep doing that untill you figure out how fast the rockwool is drying out, cause you want to keep them in that wet dry cycle, if they stay wet all the time thats probably too much water.
