Lights on... Lights off...

[mwebber28]

So how many hours do you LED guys run per day????

I'm at 12 hours and it's a gradual build up from moon phase to moon. I'm not having trouble with high light corals like my Oregon tort but some of my others are looking at me like "Hey!! cut it out!!!"

So, what do you guys run and how fast do you ramp up the energy? How long do you run at your max PAR and how fast do you come down from it...

Man I hope that's not confusing..........

I have hydra fifty twos and I run them 12 hours with a 3 hour ramp in the morning and a 1.5 hour ramp down at night. Both blues are around 50% and the whites are at 60. All others are at 15%. Whites go off an hour before the rest.

One fixture.clicks on before the other about half hr to an hr before the other.
And same at night for my dawn/dusk
