Can i run only blue light only for my 75 gallon reef tank? Its stalked with a blue throat trigger, 2 clowns, a neon dottyback and blue damsel with snails, crabs. I would run the blue light on different intensity’s with about 8 hours of no light.

To be clear- you mean blue light only and no white light?Can i run only blue light only for my 75 gallon reef tank?

There are corals. 3 leathers, a GSP, and 2 zoasyou mentioned fish but nothing about coral. the light in my opinion based on what you described is going to be pretty much just for your viewing pleasure and so the fish can see whats happening in the tank. light spectrum doesnt have much wieght for consideration if there are no corals unless your dealing with trying to reduce algae growth.
I didnt think about that. Thanks.Agreed^. Also, it kinda seems wrong not to have white lights. You I’m assuming you’re going for FOWLR (corals will all die without white light [unless you want some NPS]). I’m not a marine biologist or anything, but I feel like the lack of white lights will have a negative affect on a fish’s mental health, and from there it’s physical health
Is there any light from windows? . Idk if corals can survive without light for a week and a half... unless you fed them? This is suprising to hearI went dark for 4 days to tackle dinos and I've been running all blue for about a week. The tank is clean, the corals are thriving, fish seem fine.
You can but a slight white photo-period is good, but again you canCan i run only blue light only for my 75 gallon reef tank?

I have been feeding the fish, albeit less than before. I am gradually increasing their food. I did not want to come out of the dark and jump phosphates up suddenly. Likewise, I have not fed the corals any reef roids in weeks. Keep in mind that I do not have crazy corals. I only have softies. Still, my shrooms are reaching diameters of up to 3", my ricordea are splitting, my zoas have amazing color and extension. I have what may be a clove or a xenia that has about doubled in size. The Kenya tree is holding it's own, no growth or shrinkage.Is there any light from windows? . Idk if corals can survive without light for a week and a half... unless you fed them?
