Dumb question? Lol
Still on same schedule? How’s the tank look?3/14/19 (Now)
LC1 (1200 to 4:00)
LC2 (4:00 to 2100)
LC3 (0515 to 2200)
Moving the schedule forward would probably be the best option. You just have to sacrifice the morning viewing. You could move the schedule forward but have the blues (moonlights) come on earlier. This would give you a little viewing enjoyment and shouldn't cause any algae problems. But I wouldn't increase the whites more than what you currently have. Some people leave moonlights on 24 hrs but I think the fish and corals benefit from some total darkness.Hey Scubafrog,
I still have not decided the time schedule for my lights.
I would appreciate your recommendations. I leave the house now at 10:45 am, I get home at 22:00 plus or minus 15 minutes.
My current schedule is:
LC1 - 10:01 - 20:00
LC2 -09:30 - 20:00
LC3 - 09:00 - 2030
It seems (just two days into the new job) that I am getting home after all lights are out. This is causing problems with feedings, I truly would like to get this right for my tank. I keep all shades down while I am gone so they are only getting filtered light which is minimal.
I'm thinking that I should change all times by three hours forward. However, I do enjoy seeing them before I leave. If you agree, would you change it a few minutes each day or just go for it? If you don't agree, please, I welcome your input.
Thanks!!
