Keeping SPS alive for a few days! Please help

[JeffersonReef]

Hi all. This might be a dumb question, so please forgive me in advance....I am a NOOB!

I am nearly done converting my FOWLR to a reef tank. My MH/PC lighting fixture will be arriving next week. In the meantime, I have a standard output fluroscent light fixture. Today at RAP I bought a little SPS Frag (Orange Montiporia Cap). It was SOOO cheap, I couldnt resist! My water params are good, but my MH lighting isnt here yet. Do you think "the little frag that could" will survive a week or so until I get my metal halide lighting? Is there anything I can do to ensure that it will be ok?

Thanks everyone!

ya it should be fine but if at all possible i would give it a little bit of sunlight but u should be ok

yes, it will be fine.Just think of the storms that pass the oceans for several days at a time.When your MH does show up just make sure to adjust the time up gradually.

Depending on the lighting you currently have, place the frag as high in the tank as you can. Be sure it has adequate water flow around it also.

It should survive a week without MH light.
