school is starting back up. and my selfishness wants to wake up to my aquarium lights on.
i'm currently running (13 on 11 off with 1hr ramp) and would want (15 on 9 off with 1 1/2hr ramp)
would this be okay? i've completed the 30 day accumulation of 50% just recently and haven't tweaked the % IMG_0753.png current IMG_0754.png 15 on 9 off
