Photo Period

[Jarrett]

I run a 6 bulb tek light over my 75 gallon mixed reef and the way my lights run is, 2 blue plus bulbs come on at 12:00 and then 1:00 all 6 bulbs turn on untill 8:00 and then all lights off at 9:00 do you guys think 6 bulbs on for 7 hours may be to much light. i am not seeing any ill effects other then my acans dont swell as much as they use to. i was just always curious if i should have a longer or shorter photo time. and i never knew if 6 bulbs was maybe to much light for a tank that isn't that deep.

I always ran my 65 with 10 hours of actinic and 8 hours of daylight and now my RSM will be running 8 1/2 hours period since I cant differ them with the stock setup. I definately don't think that's too much, I think you could even increase it a bit, JMO

You're welcome....Yeah I don't think another hour would hurt. That's why I love this hobby you can change small things and make a big difference until you find the best balance in things.....Good luck
