well hello everyone ive had my tank setup for about 3 1/2 months now and i vve been seeing people talk about keeping their lights on for 10-11 hours ive been keeping my lights on for about 7 hours only... is this not enough?
ive got a reef tank setup im running a 250 watt setup with 41" pc's on my 55 gal -one bulb is 10,000 and the other is i belive a 460 actinic ..they both come on at the same time cause both ballists are wired together so i cant have one come on and not the other
my corals and everything seem to be doing great..but maybe they would do better if i had them on longer..would it help them grow faster
my issue is alge (not an issue now but id like to keep it from being) i was told that by keeping them on longer it will make more algae so it was suggested to me to keep it around 7 hours- id love to have the tank on longer to enjoy it if possible
im also thinking of getting a moon light what times would that be best to have those on? when ever the main light are off or just for a couple of hours at night
what does evryone think??!!! thanks
