    I leave on Tuesday for a 10 day training mission, I want to change the times for my lights to only have the them on for about 5 hrs a day...(just during the time my wife is home mostly to save energy...) think this will be a problem? I know it's a simple question, but still gotta make sure

    Should be perfectly fine. It will just be a couple of cloudy days on the reef.

    Not enough info here. Corals? What would be the difference if you are home or away?

    Yes, and the only real difference is that she goes to work at 2...so therefore I'd have the light schedule change, instead of 10-830 from about 9-2... And she will be feeding alittle earlier than I do but that's not a big problem

    Still vague. O.k. I will guess....you don't have a timer for the lights and will be relying on you lovely wife to turn them on and off?
