well i need some help, i came home from work and went for my daily top off and my 24 hour daylight had burnt out. now the only reason i stress is beacuse i had mass amounts of caulerpa and mangroves in there, i also have tons of cheto. but i had to put an attenic (sp?) in replace of the daylight, now what i am wondering is will my caulerpa go sexual and pollute my water? also if so how much will it affect my sps and lps? and lastly will enuf carbon abosorb it if need be? sorry for my crappy spelling and any advice would be much appresiated. thank you
 
also how long can i keep the attenic light over the magroves and macro algea? sorry, the reason i have to have the attenic for a bit is becaue my lfs is out of 65wat bulbs
 
This is the combination I use. Home Depot or Lowes always has them in stock.
I'm not sure about how long you have, but maybe it's time for a change?
Also you keep it on 24/7?
I have mine on a timer that turns the refugium light on about the time the main lights go out.
Works for me.
