Light time frame

[atticus]

So have a 72gal tanks and running 2 radio xr30's and wandering how long you guys are running your lights. I'm running mine from 1pm to 9pm.

I run mine on a 10 hour light cycle, on at 10am off at 8pm and then the lunar lights take over depended on the moon phase.

14 hours, 7 am to 9 pm. 3 hour ramp on each end with 8 hours at 100%.

Thanks for this, I to will adopt a 10 hour cycle as well. Any acclamation problems to look out for, or should I just jump in?

 

[Reefer Deez]

If you have Coral in your tank depending on the light intensity you're going to run to those 10 hours I would suggest using an acclamation process. If you don't have Corals in your tank already than you should be fine.

No coral yet, just the fish.

That in my opinion I wouldn't worry about acclimation process just go ahead and switch your lights you should be fine
