How long to run led lights daily

[GREATMIKE]

any suggestions on how long to run my 3 led light fixture daily .I have a total of 72 leds. whats the standard if there is any.

 

[Tonyscoots84]

8 hours on for daylights

if you have corals i would go low on the percentage and work up every week to your desired look

 

[GREATMIKE]

so run both the blue and white for 8 hrs only.or should i run blue longer

 

[Tonyscoots84]

depends on what your color preference is....

will try to run both for 8 hours and let the blue stay on by themselves for 2 hours alone.

Depending on how strong the LEDs are onto the tank, you should be worried about just straight out saying it's going to be X amount of hours. If this is a new LED setup, you want to see how the corals react to the light. This means only giving it minimal time on giving corals time to adjust. Afterwards then you adjust lighting to suit their needs.
