So am planning to change my light hours since I get home late from work I don't see my tank light up when the corals are open only on Sundays so my question is will it effect my live stock? It's now from 9am to 4pm and planning to switch to 2pm- 9pm

I have heard of people doing it a couple hours at a time, but honestly I don't see a fast switch being a problem

I don't think it would be an issue, although it might take a few days for the coral to adapt.

Makes no difference. They just react to the light, not the time of day. Might act a little odd for the first few, but so do we for jet lag or daylight savings
