Anyone else slowly switch there tank over 1 hour? Its anoying cause now lights out at 930 so some time when I come home they're "knocked out"

I'm thinking of switching over 15 min a day till I get back to 1030

A lot of...(unnecessary) work...Just change them...

I simply moved my timers an hour. On a related note, I prefer to have my lights come on later in the day (not a ton of ambient light in my living room with the blinds closed) so I can enjoy my tank. This gets annoying on weekends when I want to watch my tank in the morning or early afternoon but that is the price I pay. What's the point of keeping the tank if the lights are out when you come home late? I have the White LEDS go out at 10pm and the Blues go out at 12am. Sometimes I plug in my red led if I am awake after 12 and check out all the nocturnal action. :splitspin

No point on switching them one hour slowly, Just do it! Your corals will be fine ;)

Unless you're simulating lunar activity and solar activity, including solar flares, cloud cover and stormy days/nights, then switching your timers to one hour earlier or later won't do anything whatsoever to them. :splitspin

Enjoy your tank, stress less.
