If you think about it, in the wild there may be times when in nature the ocean may not receive all the light it needs and all goes fine. Plus many who may have to deal with cyano will turn their lights off for a few days to get rid of it. You should be fine.  |

I haven't no, but it may be a good idea. So far I have been lucky and not lost anything. My current light is higher intensity than my old light I was using on my 10g but I got it set at 25% power so it is working well. Have you light acclimated your others before? |

I haven't glued any to the glass before for that reason lol. If I wanted them off I would be afraid of killing them. What kind were you wanting to put on the glass? |
