Lighting hours
Interested to see how long everybody keeps their main lights on for
|
12hrs on/12hrs off. 4x 39W T5 each bulb is a different spectrum. Tank also gets natural sunlight from behind some days so that does extend the light period.
|
10 hours on 3x250w and 12 hours on 4xt5ho.
|
Voted 7, but it's actually 7.5 hours.
|
For a more accurate response, you may have wanted to differentiate between T5s and halides on the poll as people tend to treat them a bit different.
On my 90 the halides are on for 6 hours, and supplemental for 13 hours. (This was my vote answer) On my nano the T5s are all on 13 hours. |
T5's: 12 hours
Halides: 8 hours |
T5's 12hrs
MHs 6 hrs Seemed to have pretty good results. Now switched over to LEDs so I cant really vote with those as now on a scheduled 24hr program. |
12 Hours - 2 Vertex Illumilux (453nm Blue & 7K White) LED modules & 3 Ecoxotic Stunner LED strips (453nm Blue & 8K White)
24 Hours - 2 Ecoxotic Stunner LED strips (453nm Blue) Moonlights However, I'm thinking of dropping the main lighting down to 10 hours a day. I'm battling a massive GHA outbreak at the moment. |
blues 7am-11pm, whites 8am-930pm, no hair algae, no diatoms, the anemone has tripled in size in a year.
|
My power compacts turn on at 11am, my halides kick in at 12pm and run until 6pm, then my power compacts turn off at 7pm.
