Crakeur Posted September 10, 2002 Share Posted September 10, 2002 I have the actinic blue on for 12 hours and the mh on for 11. (1/2 hour before and after for sunrise and sunset effect). I also have direct sunlight hitting the fuge in the am and at night I hit the fuge with a 13w pc. Link to comment

mattdog Posted September 10, 2002 Share Posted September 10, 2002 My 20L is adjacent to my sliding back door. I open the curtains at 8:30AM and it gives a kind of dusk effect to the tank. At 10:30 AM one of my actinic 55w pcs come on and at 11:00 AM my 10000K 55w pcs come on. All the lights are off by 9:30 PM. My Freshwater 45 hex is right next to this tank and is on a reverse cycle so it kinda acts like a moonlight effect. Good system for me. Matt Link to comment
