Wilkinsontnt Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 I have the 10" Finnex led and want to know if anyone knows a good schedule for running it for proper growth in my corals? Link to comment
zooman72 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Probably help if you included a few details like what size tank, what corals are in it, and the specs on the light... That being said, you can get away with an 8, 10, or 12 hour schedule with most corals, depending on how long you plan on viewing the tank throughout the day... Typically, the brighter/ more powerful the light fixture, the less you need to run it, but again it depends on what corals you are keeping. Link to comment

zooman72 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Ok, then - you can run the blue for an hour or two before and after the whites come on to simulate (a rough approximation of) sunrise and sunset, and the white can run for 8 hours, for example... Link to comment
