Exclamation Lighting Worries
Hello! I have a quick worry that I would like to clear up. I just bought from eBAY a 2x96W Power Compact Fixture (with the lunar lights...which are freakin AWSOME!). But when it got here one of the bulbs was broken! :mad: I already had one 96W PC over the tank and this would make 3 (46gal bowfront...6.2WPG). I have ordered a new bulb on ebay (I cant bring myself to pay $65 for a new PC bulb at my LFS when I can get it for $28 on ebay INCLUDING shipping!). My worry is I have several corals arriving TOMORROW (again, cheaper online even with shipping) and the new bulb wont be here until sometime next week. Will the corals, for the most part, be ok on 4.2WPG for a few days until I get a replacement bulb? Any thoughts will be appreciated! Thanks!

Dont Worry! One week with a little less light wont do any damage! Most corals that do bad because of lighting would take a while...so one week will be fine
