How long should I leave the lights of my nano reef tank?
Hello I have created a nano reef aquarium in a 24G Nano Cube Dx 72W VHO Lighting (compact fluorescent) As of now I have 2 clowns, tomato and a small yellow tail damsel there, along with some snails and some crabs, and like a feather duster. the only thing we have now are a pair of coral mushrooms. When should I adjust the light timer to turn on and off to? Today I have to turn to 7 am and off at 8 PM. What is the best time to work on?
If the figure that corals are tropical areas throughout Ecuador, receiving amounts nearly equal daylight and night every day. The way most people set their timers is to have an hour of "Dawn" (actinics only), 10 hours of "day" (white light, typically 10,000 K) and dusk (actinics only). Leaving them in too long can cause algae problems, and this also can heat the tank water over (if the heat of the light water transfers). The exact schedule of the operation are you – Pick a time to be to when you're home more often to enjoy your tank.
