Vic, its a long sequence given the size and current makeup of the lighting over the tank. The royal blues come on starting about 10 am in 2 foot segments. First one side then the other then the next 2 ft segment and so forth. Each segment takes 5 mins and there are 17 segments. That covers the inside and the outside for a total of 24 feet on the long side and about 20 feet on the inside. Then the lights in the middle come on for and additional 24 feet. The middle currently consists of three 2 ft LED modules and two 6 ft MH/T5 aqua medic units. They are just about to be replaced with 9 new LED custom units over the centre channel. next the process repeats itself every 5 mins with 100% LED white lights. The metal halides / T5's come on for six hours and then the process reverses itself until dark at around midnight.
