I have a 5.5 gallon AGA with a chalice, micromussa, and some zoanthids. The lights broke so i am running really crappy 9" 18 watt coralife over the tank. The lights that broke were the nova extreme t5ho with individual reflectors only 36 watts of light though. My question is the lights wont come in until monday or tuesday. Yesterday and today the tank was no light until this after noon when i got the crappy ones. Do you think ill lose some color in my coral and if so how long does it usually take to come back. The tank used to be run under the **** coralifes and it caused some stretching. You think after a week under crap lights my stuff will make it ok?
 
i would not bee overly concerned, although when you put on the better lights you may want to acclimate your corals to it.
