Earlier today I was doing tank maintenance and must’ve turned off my lights and when I turned them back on for some reason it didn’t go through the light schedule so when I came home today, four hours later around 3 o’clock, the lights were still set on my timer as night I slowly ramp them up through the past hour is it OK that they missed a few hours? Most of the time they are almost double in size for the euphullia and the Duncan’s are completely closed but I know they can be sensitive also they have only had lights for about a hour so that could also be it but I was kinda nervous so will there be any real problem from this

Some of your coral are photosynthetic and will close when lights go out. Check the time clock and assure its at the current time or reset the clack to time and date and it should follow the normal schedule

Honestly we all understand. I have personally thought my tank was gonna crash cuz phosphates made it “all the way up to .12”.
