Power outage

[Brad.Sedore]

im just wondering how long corals are fine without light. my hydro went out when i was at work and my timers didnt reset so when i got home everything was as closed as closed can be... will everyone be alright... should i be overly concerned.... should i replace these POS timers?

IMO a day or two should be no problem. Just think how much light they get in the wild, during a storm.

I use the X-10 active home system to control my lights. It programs from your computer into a plug in module, with a backup battery so a power loss is no problem. There are other timers that keep time during power outages via a small backup battery too.

I agree one or two days no problem.

The most important thing to consider during a prolonged utage is temperature followed by flow.
