Here's an always good question that always get a huge variance of answers: how long do you have your lights on? My current LED(old school 1watt 120 watt fixture) is on from 8am to 6pm but I constantly worry that it's not enough or too much(hence my hair algae bloom)

I try my hardest to simulate time as it would be in the ocean. that being said my lights come up with the sunrise and hit lunar cycle at sundown. i monitor sunrise sunset times and usually adjust my ramp time weekly. So 7am -9pm thereabout my lights would be on during summer and probably 8am -8pm for winter. my Beta Director arrives tomorrow and i should be able to pull real time weather and times.
