Just wondering who runs reefbrite blues with there T5's. Really wondering what's your light schedule. I have been running a bar for awhile but not sure how to get the best from it.
 
I run my ReefBrite for the entire light cycle. I stage on my T5's throughout the day. I paid a decent chunk of money for the 48" XHO's so I figure I'll run them the entire 10-12 hour of my cycle. I've been running them this way for a few years now, very happy with the results.
 
I have the 60 inch 80 watt 8 bulb ATI T5 unit. I also have the reefbrite blue 60 inch fixture. I run the reefbrite 12 hours a day. Noon to midnight. Kick on the two blue bulbs on the ati from 2p till 11p. Run the other 6 bulbs from 3p till 9p.
 
I just set up a 6 bulb T5 and a Reef Brite XHO. Havent had it long enough for results yet but it looks good.
 
I guess I'm gonna have to adjust my timer now. I was running it 30mins before lights out for about 3 hours. Thanks for the replies.
