[dkling]

how many hrs. should i set my lights 4 ?
i'm using 2 pc's 55 w actinics , and 2 pc 55 w 10000k + 1 /175 w MH 10000K .

If I were you, .....

I would run the atinics 12 hours a day, the 10K 10 hours a day, and the MH 8 hours a day. You then have a nice dusk/dawn with 8 hours at max output.

the 2 /55w 10k r lighting 1 side and the 175 mh is lighting the other side of the tank. would u still recommend the same timming ?

I that case I'm guessing 10 hours on the MH and 10K's and 12 on the anitics.

(Disclaimer.... I'm a newbie, take any advice at your own risk!)

I'm not shure I understand,You have the MH on one side and the cpf on the other side?

[mjsandbe]

I would pretty much agree with SeaDog.

I would run the Atinics 10-12 hours a day and run the "Main Lights" 8-10 hours a day in the middle of the Atinics.

What are you keeping?

Can you see a differance in the light on the PC and MH sides of the tank?

Pictures?

the reasson im using the MH on one side and pc's on the other is because i upgraded from a 29 gal using all pc's 2 a 67 gal so i got the 175 MH 2 incerase
the lighting . that gives 175w on one side and 110 on the other , and each side has 1 55w 03 actinic @ 55 watts.
as 4 what i have so far in the tank, 1 cabbage leather, some mushrooms 1 gorgonian and 1 other soft and 1 hard coral . cant remember their names.
i'm hopping 2 have some more hard corals, if my lighting is good enought.
the MH is 10 " from the water, and the pc's r 4 " from the water.

that gives 175w on one side and 110 on the other

Truely the swissarmy knife of a tank. Good idea.
