- How long was your tank up and running for before you added corals/livestock? Also what type of corals do you have in your tank?
- For lighting schedules I keep my tank pretty simple, and mimic a regular day. My blue LED's usually come on slowly around 9AM, and ramp up throughout the day kind of mimicing the sun with a sunrise, and then noontime.. then at 1-2 pm my blues/white LEDs are on full power, and slowly ramp down from 2-5pm and my tank lights usually shut off around 6pm. It works for me, and my schedule (So Im able to view my tank after work etc.) It really depends on you. Just be careful, keeping lighting on for too long can cause nuisance algae to grow. Anywhere from 6-10 hours should be fine.
