ATI fixture question

[beardedman11]

SO, I've got a IM 20g tank with a 4 bulb fixture along with a reef brite for the blue leds. Question I've got I should run the 4 bulbs separately or just have all the t5 come on together?
example:
reef brite come on at 11am till 8pm
2 bulbs come on at 12pm till 7pm
other 2 1pm till 6pm
or
reef brite 11am till 8pm
4 bulbs t5 12pm til 7pm

Either of those is fine IMM provided the routine does not change.

Which do you like?
Pick that one…

At the end of the day, the consistency of the photoperiod is king!

Set them, forget them.
