Default Lights stayed on all night... Effect on coral?
Hi,

My 250MH failed turn off at 10pm and stayed on all night. Does anyone have any experience with how this effects the corals?

I have a mixed reef.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

They're fine: other than they may be yawning a little this morning.

Corals will be fine, IME it's fish you need to worry about, if they don't go to sleep with the lights on (some don't care, but some might) they can get a little woozy. If you notice anything just give them a lights-off period for a bit. At least that's what I'd do.
