so I have some sps in my tank they look pretty good and polyps extend when lights are on. I have a combo t5 with led, so I have the t5’s run during the led period for 5 hours. Problem I have is when the t5’s turn out and leds are only
On them the polyps recede in because of this, I’m thinking because there isn’t a sort of ramp timer for the t5’s. Am I right any suggestions etc thanks!
