hey everyone i have a tek 5 light 6 bulb setup... i have 3 aquablues, one 6500k sun, and 2 actinics... the tek light hood has a switch for 2 lights and another switch for 4. my question is in what arrangement should my lights be in? and when to run them?? thanks
 
Actinics go on first then the rest and actinics are the last to go off. After that the timing is up to you. Your tank will usually tell you if it's getting to much or too little light by the health of your corals. Common timing is 12-10 or somewhere around there. 12hrs of actinics and 10 of the other bulbs. Turn the actinics on an hr early and off an hr later from the others.
