How long can they be kept in their bags for without dying? More than a day without light?
 
Yea the chaeto will last more than a day without lighting in a bag.. the plant is VERY hardy.. just try not to keep it in the complete dark and try to keep the bag in room temperature..
 
So if I just had that and the live rocks in bags exposed to the sun, they could last two to three days?

When cycling a sw aquarium and using some live rock, does the tank need to be lit?
 
Does anyone have experience or no?
 
put the algea in 5 gal bucked with powerhead and a light, thats what i would do
 
np thanks for clicking the thank button i really apreciate it! i sent that to u in a pm best of luck, the only thing is it might shrink if the no nitrates but will not die
