10 am - Actinic + Aquapink on
11 am - Actinic and White on 9 pm - Actinic and white off 10 pm - Actinic and Aquapink off So 1 hour for dawn and dusk and 10 hours of full spectrum. I like using the Aquapink in my dawn/dusk......seems more like a sunrise/sunset IMO |
I see a definite trend here with daylight. It seems most people are at 8 hours or less, myself included. 5+ years ago, a similar poll would typically show 10 to 12 hours of daylight. I think we're seeing a lot nicer tanks now with reduced photoperiods.

My light cycle is forever changing with the daylite hours.. so I don`t have set cycle I have seasons.

10am: 22k T5 on
12pm: Halides on 7pm: Halides off 10pm: T5 off |
I run blue LEDs for an hour as dawn then daylight for 10 hours then 2 hours of blue LEDs as dusk
