dose anyone change there spectrum throughout the day? seems like a good idea I think seems in the wild throughout the day as the sun's intensity changes the spectrum would also shift just wonder what opinions are on this? and also since different spectrum stimulate a and b chlorophyll differently would that be beneficial to the coral an the color of it?
 
I did for a while so I could enjoy the tank looking different at 8k at noon before going to 20k when I got home for the evening. I now just run 15-18K all the time. I saw no difference in the livestock, just for viewing pleasure.
 
I have my blues come on first with a 180 min rise then every 30 min have the other banks come on with the whites last.

Works for me
