Refugim light schedule?

[Notsolostfish]

what light schedule I should have for my chaetos refugim? I’m new to this. If I want to run it the opposite light schedule for my tank how do I do it? Have the fuge light turns on an hour before the tanks lights off and turns off an hours before tanks light on? My tank light comes on at 1:00 pm and turns off at 9:00 pm

That looks like a plan. You only run your lights for 8 hours?

Yeah is that a problem for my corals?

I was just asking. I run mine 12, maybe I should cut back!

I'd say to run the fuge light 10 to 12 hours. An overnight schedule is what I plan on doing.

run the fuge 10~12 hours reverse.....
I run my main lights 1 hour sunrise, 10hour daylight, 1 hour sunset and 3 hours moonlight

I wouldn't cut back - if you think about the length of sun/light on the reef/day

You can do whatever ever you like. When I had a refugium, I left it on 24/7.
