Hi, I would GREATLY APRECIATE some help here.
I upgraded tanks = SUPER excited & a bit STRESSED, LOL
OLD TANK for 10 years:
55 gal with soft corals, anomies, few hard corals, canister filter, protein skimmer and LED lights (EverGrow LCD model IT2080). Which I LOVE those lights!... programed for 6hrs a day "whites" fluctuated up to 15% and the "blues" fluctuated up to 60% and then down to off.
NEW ESTABLISHED Tank:
150gal with ALL KINDS of corals and fish. Sump. Lights: 2t5bulbs and 2 Kessil "blue tuna". The previous owner set up the lights for me and programed them. The Kessils are on ALL THE TIME & the T5s come on @ 2pm and off @ 8pm.
I thought lights don't need to be on 24hrs a day? I'm asking what should the lighting be and if I do reprogram the Kessil do I have to do it slowly so the fish and coral don't freak out? Loaded info but I figure the more you know the better. Thank you in advance
