[Dannywilders]

Was just wondering how long should i keep my kessil A350W on for. While i have been cycling the tank i have been keeping them on for 5 hours a day but im unsure how long i should keep them on when i have fish and corals in the tank.

Once you dial it in, I would say anywhere from 6 to 8 hours a day.

I do 10 with a 360

I have my lights on for 9 hours. I work during the day so they come on at 3pm and go off at midnight so I can enjoy my tank.

If you're cycling your tank, you don't need lights yet. Lights will grow algae. Just some source of ammonia.

I have them on a home depot timer. It mimics natural light schedule. A150 actinic on at 6am. Off at 9pm. A360we on at 7:45am. Off at 7pm

Rooms looks like an alien invasion with the actinic and white on
