Hi,

Hope you guys can help:

No idea why, but my tank lights (Aquasky 2.0 , I know, not top of the range and been planning to upgrade them after summer) only work on Manual at the moment - their auto feature which worked fine for months isn't responding if not in preview mode.

While I could replace them, I'm unfortunately away this weekend.
I tried using a timer to try turning the lights on and off from the plug, but they reset when they are turned off, and won't go back on on their own.

The Aquarium sits in the middle of my study, tons of indirect sunlight on both sides of the tank.

I was thinking to keep the blue light on at 60% non-stop for these few days (back on Sunday evening).
In the tank I have a small bubble-tip anemone, 2 clownfish, some snails and 5 softies (can hunt down their names somehow if needed), all corals are still very small.

Would that work, should I keep them off instead or add some white light too?

Thanks for your help.

3 days? I'd keep lights off.
