Hi Guys,
Looking for a bit of help with regards to my lighting upgrade, i have a 2' cube thank that is currently setup with a 150w 12.5k halide the tank is mainly SPS. I am going to upgrade this to a 250w halide with 4x 24w T5.
I was going to have 2 pure actinc t5, 2 white and a 14k halide. At the moment i have a 10hr photo period with the 150w halide. I was thinking to changing the photo period to actinc on at 8, actinc and white t5 on at 9, halide to come on at 11, halide off at 5, white off at 7, actinc off at 10
Would this be ok? Should i be wary of anything else when upgrading the light?
