Lighting

Do I leave my Nano Reef lighting on all night, or do I turn them off at night?

 

I have a new 7.5 Mlife aquarium some live rock and about 1" of sand. I started the tank on Friday.

 

Thank you.

Photo periods usually run from about 10-12 hrs. So, lights out... I'm guessing you have an Alife (mlife is some sort of phone/phone plan -hehe). What type of lighting (it comes in two designs 13W and 27W)?

If you have 2 switches(one for the blue and one for the white), I would buy a couple of appliance timers and simulate a dawn/dusk scenario. Have the blue (actinic) come on an hour BEFORE the white bulb, and turn the blue bulb off an hour AFTER the white bulb. Closer to real life for the little fellas.:P HTH
