Looking for some information about what kind of light program that is beneficial for the corals.
I got the following:
4x dimmable T5 2x54w (can only be dimmed in pairs of two and two T5 tubes, so I can regulate f)
Profilux 3ex
Skimmer
Alge Scrubber (so I'm not to worried about algea growth in the tank)
Assorted corals SPS, LPS and Soft.
I got some questions about which features to use, why and how much. My goal is to maximize the coral growth.
How many minutes should I use on sun rise / set?
How many hours per day should I run with full light?
Should there be a set reduction of light at any time during the day, for instance a dip in output from 100%-80% between 1 pm to 3 pm? If yes how much reduction and for how long, and why is this important?
Should I use the cloud functionality? How large probability, how much reduction?
Should I use rainyday? How many? How much reduction?
Should I use thunderstorms? Are they usefull for anything other than showing off to friends?
