light rotation?

[sinful]

this biocube has 24w 10,000k and a 24w actinic and a lunar LED which is always on I think. THere are two switches for the 10,00k and the actinic. What should the light rotation be? how long on each one during the day would you suggest?

Run them 10 to 12 hours. I like the look of the actinic so I run the actinic longer then the 10,000K.

both on at the same time?

I like to run the actinic longer. My actinic are on for 14 hours a day.

My 440 watts of actinics come on at 0630 and off at 10 pm. 675 watts of 20 K MH come on at 1030 am and off at 9 pm. Seems to work for me.

Run them at the same time. However it's common to make a simulated sunrise / sunset by turning the actinics on a few minutes earlier and off a few minutes later than the 10k with timers.

hard or soft corals?
