My acans shrivel up and some torches start to retract daily about 3 to 4 hours before lights out, basically as soon as the lights start ramping down from peak intensity. Is that normal?
I run 2 a500xs and 4 reefbrite strips. The kessils ramp from 0 to 32% over 5 hours, stay at 32% for 2 hrs then ramp down from 32 to 0 over 5 hrs. So thats a 12 hour photo period. The reefbrite bars run at 50% for 11 hours, they turn on 30 min after the kessils and turn off 30 min before the kessils. My acans and some torches will start to close up daily like 3 to 4 hours before lights out. How can I get them to stay open longer or should I even try to?
Kessil schedule:
Par numbers at peak intensity:
