What's your lighting schedule, and what do you suggest that would be the best for a reef tank.

I am running my light cycle on my 14 gal. Biocube ( with PC’s) as follows :
Actinic 1:30 to 10:30PM
Daylights 2:00 to 10:00 PM
Moon lights 10:30 to daylight.
I like the lights on at night when I can enjoy them.
This is working out well for me. I recommend setting up your light system with individual timers rather than the power center. Reasons are the individual ones are cheaper and easier to set up. Also the power centers I have seen only let you have day on , night off so you can’t run the actinic and daylights at the same time. I had to add an additional timer to mine making it even more expensive.
