  12. What are the T5 tubes you using? BACK ATI Blue Plus ATI Blue Plus ATI Aquablue ATI Purple Plus ATI Blue Plus ATI Blue Plus FRONT I change them every 9 months Just to share how I manage my tubes cycle initially 6th months: Change 50% of the tubes to new tubes 9th months: Change 9 month old tubes to 6 months old tubes 12th months: Change those tubes to new tubes Then change the tubes when they are 9 months old Doing so will prevent lighting shock to corals How long is the photoperiod? 8am-12pm, 5pm to 9pm, total 8 hours I split the photoperiod because 1) I want to see my fish before I go to work 2) I want to see my fish after I come back from work 3) To dodge the afternoon hot weather How far away are the lights from the water surface? 2"(4") What water temp you control at? 27°C(26°C) Due to the arrival of my bandit, I have raise my lightset to 4" and water temp to 26°C
