Waswondering if there are any negative side affects to using a blowoff tube??? And if using a carboy will light have bad effects as well?
A blow off tube should have no negative side affects as long as it is properly submerged in a sanitized solution. It depends on what kind of light your brew is exposed to(incandescent is no big deal where as direct sunlight could be harmful). Just put a towel over the carboy to be safe. Hope I could help
The first 2 beers I brewed with a blowoff tube, I didn't use any sanitizer in the water in the jug the tube went into. My beers turned out fantastic. But... I have since used some extra starsan/water mix in the jugs. Whether it makes a difference... not sure.

I was just using that to make a point about how I'm not gone at work all day with no one watchin it. So I can catch things as they happen,it's being right next to me.
