I have order the Nova Extreme HO 48" 54W x 4 lights (Two 460nm Actinic Blue and two daylight 10,000K SlimPaq high output T5 fluorescent lamps) for my 55 gal tank. Right now I'm running two 24" 18W 50/50 lights. These stay on for 12 hours a day. I'm assuming that when I add this extra light that it could stress out my fish (two ocellaris clownfish, royal gramma, snails, crabs, cleaner shrimp).
What sort of lighting schedule should I start with? What should my final total time on be and how fast should I progress towards that final schedule?
