Hey everybody! I know you are supposed to simulate the solar system, but just wanted to know if what I want to do is correct or acceptable.
I have a tank in cycling process ,already 3 weeks through and looking good. I will turn on the lights only the atinic at 8 am and then the white at 10 am , then at 8pm the white turns off and the blue only stays on till 10 pm, and then the moonlight is on 24 hours. So instead of making it a 12 hour day Im making it a 14 hour day. Do you think that will support algae growth or it will be fine?
Appreciate your help

I'm waiting on a set of lights that should get here tomorrow so this is helping me a bit...

4x65, two 03 actinic and two daylight 10k's with 4 moonlight LED's...don't know the best way to use them yet so I'm looking forward to seeing opinions..

Brian asked if you have any pictures, if you don't know where to put them...(I'm a web developer) and I took one of the domain names I had laying around and designed it for a place that reef-builders folks can post their pictures and videos...30Mb max storage and 5Mb max upload...no ads, just a thank you for all the help I've gotten in here.

If you need it please feel free to use it to post any pics/videos you have.

Post your Pics and Videos Here

Thanks everyone!!

I run my lights the same way only one hour difference between on and off of my MH and my actinics. just about 12.5 hours total. 24 for moons.
