Temporary weak lighting over reef

[lordroad]

My 20 watt 50/50 screw-in PC went out and I've ordered two more from big al's. However, in the mean time, I've put in a regular compact fluorescent of about 5700 k. Very yellow light and looks like hell.

Should I keep this in or just go dark until I get the new bulb

The tank in question is my 1 gallon reef vase. Corals are zoanthids and gsp.

might as well leave the 5700 on there...though it might give you some algae problems it will certainly be better than nothing

5700 is near daylight...why not

No problems - purely aesthaetics suffering here.
