We need more I for than that, what size tank, what do you mean by looking bad, what is the water temp (mainly what was it when you noticed the lights were still on.) I've kept mine on and had no problems so something tells me you are running MH. The fish could be hiding in dark spots to get some shut eye. Post a pic of two if you can.

Ok I got it backwards but same thing applies. That shouldn't do anything. What do you think happens when a bi storm comes over a coral reef? God forgot to put his light timer on!

Yes there on now

Tank will be fine , everything was basically asleep. One day without light is fine , mine has gone 3 days without it , and no issues .

It's a Red Sea max 250 temp ok I guess everything ok. I'm just think should I turn the lights off or keep them on until normal time they go off

I would put them back on normal schedule and call it a day .

In this hobby never panic, usually steady bad is better than sudden good. I've had salinity creep to 40 on me and everything was fine instead of quickly changing water to get to 35 I did it slowly.

Reef on good sir
