[jackson6745]

5 hours MH
11 hours t5 actnics

same here

 

[loismustdie]

11 hours actinics. 2 4 foot T-5
7 hours MH, but they come on one at a time (an hour apart) and go off one at a time (an hour apart). 3 bulbs. 250 watt 10,000k w/luminarcs.
Length of photoperiod doesn't mean anything. There are too many variables.

 

[Tonyscoots84]

length of photoperiod does mean something... one being in sps corals they can only take up a certain amount of light.... per day... , less time light is on= save $$$$ on electric....

i dont disagree with you on the many variables... :biggrin:

12 hr moon light

 

[scumonkey]

12 hours 2-90w super actinics
7 hours 2 -250w 10k MH
4-5 hours led moonlite

 

[HAVIC]

5 hours 2 250w MH - probably will go to 6 hours
12 hours 2 65w actinics

 

[reefer-nyc]

7.5 hours 175w 10k MH, 9.5 hours 03 actinics.

 

[scarf_ace1981]

MH 6-7 hrs

 

[masterswimmer]

10k-8hrs. 96w PC

 

[newly salted]

12 hours actinic
10 hours daylight
6 hours led moon

 

[VITARTE]

T5 10 hrs

 

[NYCrab]

2 x 96w 03 actinic PC -- 12 hours
2 x 96w 50/50 PC -- 10.5 hours
2 x 96w 10k PC - 9 hours

03s on first, then 50/50s, then 10ks -- lights go off in reverse sequence

 

[cybermeez]

12 hours Actinics
7 hours MH
2-3 hours Blue LED Moonlights (these are very bright on my new Aqualight Pro fixture. I've discoverd that the fish won't sleep when these are on so I turn them off before I go to bed.)

I have to update mine.

12hrs for 96w Actinic PC

4 hrs for 250 MH

24 hrs for Moonlights


I have 2 39w T5 retro's on the way. I will probably then go to

12hrs for 1 of the T5's

8 hrs. for the 2nd T5

I might bump the 250 MH up to 5hrs.
