how long have you gone without lights.....

So while doing a firmware upgrade on my light tonight I lost connection and wiped the memory out on the computer and won't have a replacement computer for the light until Monday. So my tank will be dark for 3.5 days. Will I be ok or should I try to mount my 48" 8 bulb t5 fixture over it?

7 days was the longest I went during a blackout to fight Dino's.

3 days for some mat algae.

I recently went 5 days due to a light fixture problem, everything was fine. I wouldn't be concerned. It's pretty routine to leave lights off for 3 days so in my opinion you should be good!

thank you for the responses. I hope my sps will be ok. I guess I will do a mini re-acclimation to the lights when they come back on monday.

Went 8 days once due to a ballast failure that needed repair. Everything was fine.
