    I have had a week and a half black out (11 days) when both of my lights shattered. All the corals were fine and not a single granular of algae was left in the tank! lol. I would not suggest to do it for that long but it definitely helps! :D

    You don't have to have the lights on to feed the fish. They'll eventually wake up & be out and about even with the lights off.
