biocube daylight bulb burnt out-how long will coral be ok

fuerte91 · 02/02/2014, 12:33 PM

Hi all I have a quick question about how long my corals will be ok with just an actinic bulb in my biocube. My daylight bulb burnt out friday night, and my replacement wont get to until tuesday. So im curious, will they be fine until then? I just have some zoanthids and star polyps, and my most "light demanding" a hammer coral. Thanks!

Yes they will be okay. I've gone 3 days without any light in the past and my corals were just fine.
