Grow light for QT corals

[Just_Pete]

My quarantine blue/white reef e27 light blew. I have a pink grow light on hand from my fuge. Can I use this for 2-3 days until my replacement comes?

How long till the new one comes? It may be worth it to go dark instead. That may encourage algae. Just a though. Corals are fine for a few days. I have done blackouts in the past for 72 hours, no issues.

Sunday for the new light, not to concerned about algae since there is nothing in the qt tank except an egg crate.

Just wondering if there are any ill effects of a pink grow light on LPS and soft corals for 2-3 days. I just received new corals today and the timing of my reef light blowing out couldn't of been any worse.

No ill effects I can think of, just may not be any benefit either. Depends on spectrum.
