Lights out

Truett Burns · Apr 2, 2017

My power source to my lights just went out. I have a couple of 5 different zoas, 3 different hammer corals, pulsing Xenia, radactis mushroom, Green torch and two clowns. What should I do while my new one is coming in? Also, how long will coral last without light?

People do 3 day blackouts for algae all the time, so at least that long so long as everything was healthy.
How long till your part comes in? If you have a local club you could ask around to borrow some lighting if it's gonna be a bit for the part
