I have three pairs of T5s that are staggered half an hour apart to be on, first leds and start of a 12 hour cycle at 07-45, off about 12 hours later, sounds very similar but my led supplement is only 75 w. :)

My lights ramp for three hours lol
mine have a 3 hr ramp too. starts at 1130am.
lights out 1/130am. I forget which.
daylight savings(?) time messes with it, and I just leave the settings.
so, sorry, no full frontal till later. ;)

Looking for input on PH from group here. Since my system swap my PH has been pretty much locked in. Big skimmer had me running into high 8.4's with minimal swings in thousandths.
Swapped out that with smaller eshopps skimmer. Since fresh water change yesterday that put me at 8.32 initially but after cpl hours ive been pretty much locked in at 8.25. No swing with lights out.
I think @Eagle_Steve has locked his PH in.
Who else monitors PH closely and doesn't see swings?
My old system would swing 8.2 lights out to 8.3 full daylight
