I currently have a Kent Marine 94 litre tank. Inside I have an sea urchin, crabs and snails. I am trying to work out how long i should have the lights on for and which lights to have on when.
I have no idea about the lighting, other than what it says in the book. 'The main source of light in your aquarium is the twin T5 power compact fluorescent lamps- these supply 75% white light and 25% actinic blue lighting.
The lighting if further enhanced by the addiction of 6 x 1 watt marine white LED's and 4 x 0.5 watt blue LED's- each light system is individually switched - T5, white LEDS and Blue LEDS.
The T5 power compact lamps, also referred to as 'PC' lamps supply the majority of light for your aquarium- the bright white light provides 10,000k daylight.
The second kamp uniquely provides two different spectrums; first it provides 50% bright white 10,000k daylight and the remaining 50% as actinic Blue spectrum.'
What should my tank lighting structure be like? When should I have which light on?
