LIGHT Time

[ynnhoj86]

i was just wondering what hours everyone leaves there lights on for your tanks? and if it really matter turning on your actinics before the 10K's?

8:30 to 9:00 for me, actinics for the first and last half hour, this helps simulate day and night cycles and also is much easier on the fish, having all lights blast on at once can startle fish resulting in jumpers

I do my actinics for 2 hours before and after I do 8 hours with the halides.

I do my actinics for one hour before and after 8 hours of having them both on.
