[ryangrieder]

i wanted to know what everyones light cycle they keep their tanks at?

simply put if its fowlr, sps dominate, lps dominate, or mixed reef, and your light times during the day.

i mainly asking because i think mine is too much and i may turn it down, but i want to hear everyone elses lighting time frame...


mine is...
Lighting time on a timer
9:30am blue reef brite
10:30am 2 actinics kick on
11:30am 1 actinic, 1 purple, and 2-15k kick on
6:30pm 1 actinic, 1 purple, and 2-15k turn off
7:30pm 2 actinics turn off
8:30pm blue reef brite turns off
8:30pm 3 strips of actinic true lumen LEDs turn on for moon lights
9:30am 3 strips of actinic true lumen LEDs turn off
Back to the top all over again...

Keep in mind that Radium bulbs put out low par do to the blue in it so thay have to run them longer. If you go to Reef central it will explain the Radium bulbs and high photo period. If you what realy good info go to http://www.reef2reef.com/ very good info here.
