Hours of light for Chaeto in my Fuge

[Luckyduck]

I'm probably going to get several different answers for this question but here it goes. How many hours do you guys suggest I leave my growlight on over my fuge for my Chaeto? It's a 5w 3 red 2 blue bulb led grow light. I am running it on the opposite schedule as the main tank. I'm using Brightwell Aquatics Koral Lagoon Substrat and also plan on adding a Mangrove in time cuz I love them! I haven't started yet as the Chaeto is new and I don't have my test kit yet but I have Brightwell Aquatics Ferrion to dose that I have heard good things about and want to try out too.

Depends on your nutrient levels more than anything, I only run mine for 8 hours

Okay,. I figured it was probably something I would need to dial in on. As my Nitrates drop if it gets below where the target area is I can cut back on the light if need be correct? I am higher than, that currently so I'm running it for 10 right now.

correct, you lower the hours if you want your nutrients higher
