FAC_WNY Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 How old is the tank? What are your "testable levels"? There are a lot of factors involved in coral growth/expansion. Don't get discouraged if you have a fairly new tank (anything under 6 months or so), and you aren't getting the growth/development rates that you want. As far as lights go..I usually run my actinics for 12 hours a day, with my 10,000K coming on and staying on for 9 hours a day. (1.5 hours after the actinics in the morning, 1.5 hours before the actinics shut down at night). Cheers, Fred Link to comment
