bio cube lights

new to salt water I Have a 29gal. bio cube with built in lights but dont know witch ones to leave on or cut off. HELP;D

 

What do you mean cutting some of and leaving some on? Please explain and I will help you figure it out.

 

if you have white day lights and seperate actinic (blue/purple) light with 2 cords. put the actinics on first then white lights on 1.5 hours after that, then after 7-8 hours turn whites off. then 1.5 hours after that turn actinics off.

example.

9am turn on actinics
10:30am turn on day lights
6:30pm turn off day lights
8pm turn off antinics

if your unit came with LED moonlights you can just leave them on 24/7 or turn on at 8pm and off at 9am..

timers are recommend.

 

Night-Rida described it perfectly!! I have a 29g cube as well. Welcome!!!!
I hope you enjoy yours as I do mine!!

I always liked the looks of those 20g-35g+ biocubes, everything you need in a box.. nice and simple.

 

thanks for the lighting info. very helpful

Welcome 2 3reef. Wish you luck with your cube. I have 2 and I love-em. I'd get one of those power strips with the timer on both ends. This way as soon as your actinic lights go out, your lunar kick on, and vice-versa. It also has color coded sockets.
