How many hrs are your lights on for your mixed reefs?

Mine come on at 8 and go out at 8 or 9. Peak intensity is about 5 hours. Corals seem to be reacting fine

[TheDragonsReef]

About 12 hrs total, only at full intensity for 6-8

 

[G Santana]

10am-8pm this includes 1/2 hr ramp up, 1/2 moonlight.

 

[Midrats]

Eight bulb Sunpower on 1400 off 2200. No ramping, no dawn/dusk, just full blast the whole time.

Thinking the 6.5 hrs i was giving not enough

 

[Midrats]

Six hours can be enough if the intensity is there. Did I miss what lights you are using?

 

[reefz]

Depends on the light. I like to stay 9-10 hours, 1 hour ramp up.
