Well I started this yesterday and plan on seeing what effects if any positive or negative it will have on the corals and macro....Hopefully great for the corals and bad for the macro......Here it is....
I will start randomly turning off my halides 2 days a week and just leaving on the actinics for the whole day. A buddy of mine a few years ago would randomly keep his lights of 1 day a week to simulate cloudy or stormy days. While I never did find out what the out come was cause I bought his 125 cause he had to move. I figured this weekend I would try some something similar but without the no lights part. Yesterday I acclimated some frags I had gotten in the mail and left the actinics on and shut down the halides figuring that would ease the acclimation as these frag came from PC type lighting. I figured this was a good time to start......I will try and take pictures if I notice any effects but I have been real lazy on the picture tanking lately so I don't know how that part will go.....
Any ideas about it out there? You guys/gals can chime in also.....
