I'm trying to learn as much as I make my way through reefing, and one question that I have is addressing the scenario when the power goes out for a certain length in time, what is the impact on the corals - understanding that they are photosynthetic and need light. I heard about blacking out aquariums to control/get rid of algae, so I'm wondering then if corals can really be without light for a few days?
I have a back up battery supply, and I have the light hooked up to it, but I am thinking that I should not and save the power more for the pump and wavemakers.
Thoughts?
