I didn't get much in another forum. Resposting here....
LPS tanks with Tunze Waveboxes, do you use the photocell and/or turn off your wavebox(es) at night?
I have a Tunze Nano Wavebox 6206 and a small tank with mostly zoos and LPS (see below, assuming my signature shows). My T5HO lights are on timers with an actinic cycle of about 11 hours total and a 10K cycle of about 8 hours total.
It just occurred to me that, since I use the photocell, my wavebox is running only 11 hours per day, which means it it not being as helpful as it could in terrms of keeping things moving.
I'm thinking of maybe not using the photocell and, instead, either (a) leaving it on 24/7 or (b) simply turning it off at night for about eight hours.
Some people say in some older posts on RC that LPS with sweeper tentacles are the specific type of coral that appreciate the wavebox being turned off at night (to permit full extension of the sweeper tentacles).
Thoughts?
Thanks in advance!
