Hello - I’m wondering what light schedule I should run in my jbj 28g. I have three fish and three soft corals for now.
Should I run a moonlight phase? I can run just blue at 1% then simulate morning daytime and dusk with schedules.

what is the ideal total light time? Running 80% blue, 25% white for 5hrs at peak time of day. Gradual scale up and down between. time.

here is a picture of the schedule. 0 indicates red. Blue is highest number and white is lower number.

Hi,

First wanted to say #WelcometoR2R

Your light schedule looks ok. I am not familiar with you light, so cannot comment on the intensity levels. You can run moonlight, I would end it at midnight. Just watch you tank for algea and any other changes, if you run into problems you may want to shorten the photo period or intensity . If you are not getting results you may want to do the opposite.

Hope that helps
