    I have about 7 red mangroves in my fuge and was hoping to get some feedback from those of you who have experience with them. I want to know how much light they need and how much down time they require as well. I am currently running on a CORALLIFE 10K 18 watt fixture over my fuge. I currently run the light 22 hrs and 2 hrs down time.

    More often than not, many choose to cycle the light opposite of the display. So, when the display lights are off, the fuge lighting is on. There's also nothing wrong with keeping the light on 24/7.
