I apologize if this is a silly question but I recently upgraded to a Kessil A150W LED for my Biocube 14. My question: What is a good rule of thumb for the amount of light hours during the day? 6 hours, 8, 12?

Thanks in advance

My unit is programmable so I run 12 hrs. Sun rise to to sunset. If your light is not dimmed throughout the day I would run 6-8hrs.

Yeah, I can not dim the light at all. Thank you for the reply! I'll play around with the timing and see what works best for the tank.
 

DO YOU THINK TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENTS ARE MORE HELPFUL OR HURTFUL TO REEFING?
