Hi folks, on my 75 gl I have 2- reef reliance Pro star 165's
this is a rather new setup and has only been running for a couple months.
I have a few fish and 1 mushroom coral at the moment. I will begin adding corals to this tank (mushrooms, Zoas mainly soft to begin with)
but will eventually try my hand at sps and lps.

My question is this, what type of schedule should I have these lights on.
currently I turn them on at 8am and turn them off at 4pm

at the moment I am doing this manually ( with the plans of putting them on a timer) I do have a reefkeeper lite and may eventually buy the kit to make them programmable.

any and all thoughts and suggestions are welcome, just trying to learn a bit.

thanks in advance, Tom
