I recently added a refugium to my tank about 2 weeks ago. My macroalgae has been growing very well, and nutrient seem to be on the decline. I put some snails in the refugium to help with some nuisance algae that was growing in it. My question is does it harm the snails being under light 24/7, or will they be okay. I haven't noticed any issues but I want to make sure they don't need a dark time.
