Am I reading that right? 12 hour light cycle? That's a lot.

For 8 bulb fixture what would be a better cycle?

Start at 7-8 and go from there.

Ok so really turn down the time. Sounds good. My staghorn and blue acros love it by the growth . Reds corals not so much color all fading away. I will lower the cycle
Thanks alot for the response
