Blue or white lighting

[Tryingmybest]

I recently moved to a 14 gallon saltwater biocube and have not replaced the lights yet. The lights that are currently on the tank alter between white and blue with a switch on the wire so I cant have it change automatically. I am going away next weekend and not sure if I should keep the lights set to white or blue. Any suggestions?

Either will be fine. White or full spectrum may promote algae growth.

personally, I'd do blue. white will possibly be a huge algae issue when you get home

A small tank should be fine on white. or blue. 18 inches is not much in terms of light band absorption (rejection?) Blues brings out the pretty, white is fine for a tank. Par is par.
