Lighting schedule

[Lucastank]

Hello I appreciate the help-looking for lighting schedule tips.

I have the stock lighting-Fluval evo- whites / blues. And I also have another light for blues attached. All will be on a separate timer. About how long can/should the lights be on. White. Blue.

I was thinking blues go on at 7am-7pm 12 hours. White lights turn on 9am-4pm 7 hours.
I can do any mix match and they have 2 separate timers - appreciate the help.
Will be some corals and soon to be 2 clownfish.

Really ? So you don’t do any dark time. ? And no red or green at all ? I’m just asking because I am a newbie and I’m trying to learn. Thanks

I think they meant like if your photoperiod is 7am to 7pmblues can be on for 12 hours in a day (7am to 7pm) , whites for 10 (7am to 5pm or something like that) not one after another but rather at the same time

Ohoh
Example would be

whites on at 10a and off by 8 - 9p

Blues on at 8am and off by 10-10:30p

Your lights would be off from 10:30p until 8am . Room will have ambient light in morning until lights kick in.
