[Awgui]

so i suppose for those that on their MH at around 12pm would have no lights for the tank in the morning?

actinics not equal to moonlight.... waste of electricity too

[patrick123]

I only on it for aestatic reason. Looking at the luminous corals.

So what I do is to on it 1 hour before the MH light come on, and once the MH light come on, I will off the actinic. After that, before the MH light turned off 8 hours later, the actinic is on again, and last one hour after the main MH is off.

This is because since I'm using 14k bulb, I don't need the actinic for supplement.

[acidjazz]

My lighting routine is as follows:

9am-1pm actinic on

1pm-9pm MH on

9pm-12am actinic on

[Tigger]

Actinic on 4.00pm-1.00am

MH on 4.30-12.30

[yiocs]

Actinic on 11.00am-11.00pm

MH on 12noon-10pm
