Lighting duration mistake

[rogergolf66]

So I turned on the actinic and blue plus early by 30 min yesterday, I forgot to turn it back to auto. The full lighting cycle ran plus extra 7 hours till my wife woke in the middle of the night and saw tank was still lit up.

Do u think any negative effects of this? I just changed both those bulbs this week too so full power of an ati blue plus and a geisemann pure actinic bulb was on to long

It depends on how strong your lights are set, but I've had similar things happen with no issues when it was just the blue lights.

Its t5 bulbs. There was 2 on. An ati blue plus and a geismann pure actinic

So two Bulbs run an extra 7 hours.

You should be fine.

Do the Corals look stressed now?

They seem to look ok so far

shouldn't be any longer term issues. I've left my LEDs overnight after working on the tank real late.

Shouldn't have any issue as I have left my lights on for extended periods of time, as well as on the other end of the spectrum where my lights were off for a couple of days with no ill effect!
