So it look like my power went out when I was on vacation and my reef breeder phyton V2 defaulted on instead of going back to custom level. All my SPS look pretty stressed, but I think most corals will be ok. My question is do you think I should turn the lights off tomorrow to give the corals a break or should I just get my normal light schedule going again. Guess my decision of driving to Cleveland tomorrow for LEAR has been made, wont be adding anything until things get back to normal.

Thanks
 
Go back to your regular schedule.
I don't think it's your light that stressed them but more your tank was off, so no water flow, circulation and no oxygen from your skimmer.
With the power off for a few hours corals can get stressed pretty bad.
 
Ok I will go back to there regular schedule. Thanks for the help. I am seeing PE on most of the corals, but they don't have a lot of color. Keeping fingers crossed.
