I think there was a thread on rc that was showing the best growth on their frag tanks with 4 hours on, 4 hours off

Ok I uploaded program to lights. I changed it to 4 hour max intensity but retained the 6 on 6 off. Just a longer ramp

I suck at pics with I phone but here's a couple for reference

This is some of the pieces I want to see better colors. Most others are great color. Just a reference
Orange grove is brown with green corilites
Blue acro is brown with light blue color returning
Red planet is green
Shades of fall is white with reds coming into base
Red convexa is orange with red tips
Garf is pale blue tips brown polyp a
Fuego is green with violet tips

Dang I have my halides on for 10 hours mainly for my viewing pleasure I may have to rethink this

I found a thread on rc. It did talk about photosaturation and that test have been done and in said test photosynthesis continoued for 20 hours during intense light.
It did state that the split cycle will drive fish bat sh*t crazy. So we will see how that turns out
According to the thread on rc 75% of calcification is don during daylight hours

10 day update
 

well its been ten days since i started this.

so far its been very good, a few of the corals are showing new growth. my purple poison shortcakes growth has taken off, i really connot believe how much its grown

as for color nothing yet for considerable change

fish dont seem to mind. my pipe fish did hide for a day or two but it along with the assessor and shrimp are fine

one thing i do like is first light schedule is on when i get up for work so i get a quick peak before im out the door
