When you are using aquacultured live rock from the very beginning of a tank, how is light managed?
I haven't even got a tank yet. We are still in the planning stages.
Years ago, before the military took me overseas, I was planning on setting up a tank with TBS's Package. I had actually been invited to dive with Richard (owner of TBS) to pick up my rock!
15 years later, it seems that starting with aquacultured rock is not everyone's cup of tea. I believe I understand, as much as a person without a reef tank, the pro's and con's.
So IF I was going to set up a reef tank using aquacultured live rock from the beginning, it seems that I would want to have my lights on from the very beginning. Aquacultured rock already has lots of life on it, including life that requires light, and I would want to keep that light available to that life from the start.
Is this correct?
Thanks!
