I have another question regarding MH. how long do you let them burn during the day? Time range? Do you think that different times during the day affect the growth of corals?

I have read through this post and did not find anything on Anchofish.com. I am wondering if anyone has ever bought any liverock off of them and if so what did you think about it? If anyone has any opinions of where I should buy my liverock, I am open to suggestions! I am looking for about 90...
