Biocube LED 32 lighting schedule

[ClearwaterReefer]

I am only going to do some softies, maybe a Duncan or elegance. What do you recommend for the schedule? Also, do I have the lights on during initial cycling?

I'll answer part 2 first, nope you won't need any lights during the initial cycle. I had mine off for a month.

There's been several questions about the lighting schedule on these , ill just post mine and you can adjust to your time line .

LC 1 whites - 10 am- 6pm
LC 2 guess these are sunrise/sunset - 9am - 7pm
LC 3 Blues or night lights - 6 - 1030
Everything off after that.
I have a duncan, a new frogspawn and hammer so mainly the beginning lps
Hope this helps ya

I was just looking for some settings to steal and happened across your post. For the LC3 Blues - is that 6pm-1030pm? or 6am?

I read elsewhere that the blues are needed during the 'whites' as well to maximize PAR...
