    I have a T5 lighting fixtue for my 75g tank. It has the white light, blue light and LED moon lights. Is there a recommended lighting sequence on when each light comes on and how long it should be on for? I have some coral but mainly fishes. Corals include Zoos and mushrooms. Thanks for the help/advice.

    I used to have the same lighting configuration on my 29. I set the moonlights to turn on at 8AM and off at 10PM. Actinics were on from 11AM-9PM and 10k on from Noon-8PM. It gave a bit dawn/dusk feel to it that I kind of liked.

    This is an excellent suggestion.
