I will let someone with more knowledge answer the lighting question. I doubt it will be a problem.

Fixed my lighting issue last night... took some extra background paper...cut it up..and taped it to the refugium wall.... problem fixed
Today tested my water... pH: 8.2 Ammonia: 0.00 ppm Nitrite: 0.00 ppm Nitrate: 0.00 ppm KH: ~125-130 mg/L Ca: ~ 460 mg/L I guess the KH and Ca is a little bit high?? But then there is nothing in the tank to change the chemistry of the tank...so I guess this is okie??? Once more inhabitants are in the tank... the numbers should drop slowly... and then I will need to start dosing... Did a 20% water change afterwards.... added some Kent Pro d Buffer + Seachem Prime Conditioner.... Salinity reading is at 1.024-1.025 ..... So far so good.... I plan to add a fish next week... but now I will give it a few more days to stablize some more

Question guys.... for my refugium light... is it okie to leave it off during day time??? Since i taped up the refugium with back paper... it doesnt get any light from my main tank during the day time anymore... my living room is not the brightest as the tank is in an area with out much light..but the room is not pitch dark ...its still very visible during day time....
So if i leave my lights off during day time for the refugium...would i get the pH drop issue that people get at night time when its pitch dark??? Thanks.... right now i have my light on 24/7... but if there isn't a need for it..i don't want the light to be on 24/7

Went to the local fish stores today... actually wasn't really local...it was like 30-45 minute drives from my home....
Anyways....picked up another nice piece of Live rock... 12 blue legged hermits, 5 red legged hermits, and 2 tank raised clownfish (one larger than the other, that what the dude said ... its best to keep them diff. sizes) The clownfishes look curious..and not breathing hard at all... so seems like the transition is going fine... Right now only have my moonlights on ... to 'de-stress' the fish...... later in a couple hours...I will take some pictures..... Also got a diatom bloom today when i got home.. i was surprised... hope the hermits will do their job walking and moving the sand

Looking good, but I'd go with a larger powerhead. A Koralia nano doesn't pump through enough gph for a 20 gallon long in my opinion
