I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

I have nothing but SPS in my tank. I am running a 6x54w Ati powermodule and am getting great growth a PE. I read somewhere that sometime less is more when it comes to lighting and I have been very pleased with how my tank has responded to it. I will try to find the article.

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.
