Just curious if anyone had any experience / knowledge with LED lights on a 24hr light cycle where at night the lights go down to a dim, but not completely off.
I have an LED light on my nano tank, and all of my corals were doing fine with it for the first few weeks I had it, the last couple of days I noticed some of my zoas and my ORA Red Gonipora were not opening up. Moved some of them around, changed the flow in the tank and no response. Had not had this problem before with my power compact florescent lighting on a timer. So I started to wonder if the fact that I no loger had any time period where there was no light was affecting the corals. The last two days I have shut the lights down completely at night, and now the corals are opening up back fully in the morning.
Is this just a coincident? Has anyone had similar experiences or any answers.
