thanks!!! i have 1-400w mh xm10k in the center of my canapy
4- 72 inch 140w(something like 140) icecap
actinic vho
1- 72 inch 72 watt 10k t5 that evens the daylights in my tank since i have 1 mh in the center..also 6 blue moon beams
i didnt want to get a chiller and go with a bunch of mh's
i kinda like how the sides of my tank are just a tad darker...my mh's ray range is between 24 and 30 inchs
my light schedule with 3 timers go on:
1st 2 actincs go on and off - 12pm to 12am
2nd set of actincs with 10k t5 go on and of- 1:30pm to 10pm
mh goes on and off- 2:30pm to 8pm
this gives me the morning to noon and noon to dusk effect
i tried other schedules and got bad growth,over exposed corals and half inflated other things...since ive had this schedule, ive seen nothing but great results!!!!!!!...everyones tank is different, soo you have to tweak with things alot in this hobby to get things just right!!!
...what works for you, might not work with others though
....my tank stays from 78-80 constant!!..i finaly got it down to a science...hmmmmmm this hobby is science i think,lol
some corals like more lights and some like less, so i keep stuff like my rittiri anemone and clams in the center..im having alot of growth so i know its doing the job
the nigar trigger is about 5 inch.. its not that big..i bought it when it was half the size...its been doing realy good dosent mess with nothing in my tank.. they say blue throut and nigger triggers are reef safe...some niggers have better personalitys then others.. my brothers nigger is worse then a
clown trigger..it eats all his snails and hermits, while my nigger dosnt
