Light Schedule

I was just setting up my lighting and was wondering if this was a good combonation? I have my actinics come on at 9am then my day lights come on at 10. Then my day lights go off at 9pm and my actinics go off at 10pm.

Also should the actinics be on the whole 11 hours or should they turn off at some point in the middle and turn back on?

 

thats a good schedule seabeast. thats the time frame alot run. leave the actinics on for that whole period. i run my actinics 12 and daylights for 10

 

+1 on Divott from me, Im also 10 hours daylight and 12 hours actinic

I also run mine the same

 

I runn the same method but only 30min between actinics and daylight's.. But that's me..



Good STUFF..!!!



BEst of luck..!!

 

Hmmm. I run my actinics about 10 hours. Halides run only about 7. My actinics are on the entire time there is light in the tank. The daylights come on later, and turn off earlier. The actinics are usually used to mimic dawn and dusk. My actinics come on at 9a. The halides come on at 11:30. Halides turn off at about 6:30p. Actinics turn off at about 7:30p.

There's no right and wrong. Whatever works for you. Generally, I think most run their actinics both before daylights come on, and after daylights shut off.

 

what bout using 20000k globes and then brushing the atinics altogether? like just use normal 10000ks to do the sunrise and setting thing

 

My Actinics come on at 6 am my daylights at 8 am and my daylights off at 6 pm and actinics off at 8 pm the moonlights are on 24 seven, when my daylights are on my actinics are also on...
