peanut1181 Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 I am unsure of how to run the lights on my fuge. I have a 15g nano with a 15g 'fuge with basically nothing in it yet as I am still cycling the tank. I have two normal output 60w (120w total) flourescent lights above my 'fuge. Should I leave them on 24/7? Should I run them only during the day when my display tank lights are on? Should I run them only at night when my display tank lights are off? How will the manner in which I run my lights effect my tank? In the 'fuge I have caulerpa and such... how will my light cycle effect that? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much!

offsprg01 Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 alot of peeps run them 24/7 Link to comment
Toooloud Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 most will run it 24/7 .. Just becouse they fear there Calupra will go sexual.. Myself i run it on a reverse cycle to the main tank.. and run Grape Calupra never had any issues.. Ideally you want the reverse atleast becouse the lighting on the tank will help maintian a stable PH level.. So if running 24/7 is not for you .. Run it reverse to the main tank! Link to comment
peanut1181 Posted July 16, 2003 Author Share Posted July 16, 2003 Thanks very much for the help! Most people have said to go either 24/7 or on a reverse cycle from the main tank... i'll probably go on a reverse cycle since it will conserve some electricity. Thanks again for all the input.
