Hello all.

Just a question as to what the ideal lighting times are for a nano housing hammers, xenia and zoas?

i haven't put any corals in yet but want to go in prepared.

20 Watt dual LED (White and Blue)

22gal nano

Thanks everyone

What time are you home to view it and can your blues and whites come on at separate times? You can run your blues for 8 or 10 hours a day and your whites for 6-8. Most coral growth takes place at night so you don't want to run them for too long. If you're able to ramp up and down (sunset/sunrise), so much the better so you don't freak the fish out with a blast of light.
