Everyone my power was just restored to my home today at about 8pm, and has been out since Friday at 2:30pm. Thats about 126 hours with no light or filtration/circulation. I am almost positive I do not want to continue on the photo period I was running but just how much do you think I should cut it back in the beginning? Maybe half? Please advise. Thanks a bunch.

Sorry to hear about your troubles but glad your tank is still there! I am just guessing but I would say half is about right. That and a water change every day or every other day for a few days.
